1. Summary

   Updated VMware Hosted products address security issues in libpng and
   the Apace HTTP Server.

2. Relevant releases

   VMware Workstation 6.5.2 and earlier,
   VMware Player 2.5.2 and earlier,
   VMware ACE 2.5.2 and earlier

3. Problem Description

 a. Third Party Library libpng Updated to 1.2.35

    Several flaws were discovered in the way third party library libpng
    handled uninitialized pointers. An attacker could create a PNG image
    file in such a way, that when loaded by an application linked to
    libpng, it could cause the application to crash or execute arbitrary
    code at the privilege level of the user that runs the application.

    The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
    has assigned the name CVE-2009-0040 to this issue.

    The following table lists what action remediates the vulnerability
    (column 4) if a solution is available.
