The remote VMware ESX / ESXi host is missing a security-related patch.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including remote code execution vulnerabilities, in several third-party components and libraries :

  - Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
  - libuser
  - Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) 
  - Network Security Services (NSS)
  - OpenSSL

USN-1079-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenJDK 6 for non-armel (ARM) architectures. This update provides the corresponding updates for OpenJDK 6 for use with the armel (ARM) architectures.

In order to build the armel (ARM) OpenJDK 6 update for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, it was necessary to rebuild binutils and gcj-4.4 from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS updates.

It was discovered that untrusted Java applets could create domain name resolution cache entries, allowing an attacker to manipulate name resolution within the JVM. (CVE-2010-4448)

It was discovered that the Java launcher did not did not properly setup the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. A local attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-4450)

It was discovered that within the Swing library, forged timer events could allow bypass of SecurityManager checks.
This could allow an attacker to access restricted resources.
(CVE-2010-4465)

It was discovered that certain bytecode combinations confused memory management within the HotSpot JVM. This could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service through an application crash or possibly inject code.
(CVE-2010-4469)

It was discovered that the way JAXP components were handled allowed them to be manipulated by untrusted applets. An attacker could use this to bypass XML processing restrictions and elevate privileges. (CVE-2010-4470)

It was discovered that the Java2D subcomponent, when processing broken CFF fonts could leak system properties.
(CVE-2010-4471)

It was discovered that a flaw in the XML Digital Signature component could allow an attacker to cause untrusted code to replace the XML Digital Signature Transform or C14N algorithm implementations. (CVE-2010-4472)

Konstantin Preisser and others discovered that specific double literals were improperly handled, allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4476)

It was discovered that the JNLPClassLoader class when handling multiple signatures allowed remote attackers to gain privileges due to the assignment of an inappropriate security descriptor. (CVE-2011-0706).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

USN-1079-2 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenJDK 6 for armel (ARM) architectures in Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. This update fixes vulnerabilities in OpenJDK 6 for armel (ARM) architectures for Ubuntu 10.10.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201406-32 (IcedTea JDK: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the IcedTea JDK. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, obtain       sensitive information, bypass intended security policies, or have other       unspecified impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
