Third Party Vulnerabilities Resolved

vRealize Operations 8.6.3 addresses a total 154 CVEs. While I would normally list the CVEs and provide additional information on them, this post would become far too long if I provided details on all 154 CVEs. I would suggest that you review VMware KB 88081 to determine which CVEs are address and if you require additional information, review the CVE’s information within the NIST National Vulnerability Database.
