The vCenter Server contains a privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious actor with network access to vCenter Server may trigger this vulnerability to escalate privileges to root by sending a specially crafted network packet.
The product attempts to drop privileges but does not check or incorrectly checks to see if the drop succeeded.
