VMware ESXi contains a null-pointer deference vulnerability. A malicious actor with privileges within the VMX process only, may create a denial of service condition on the host.
A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
