Are there plans to validate a version of VMware’s ESXi hypervisor that addresses recent vulnerabilities outlined here; https://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2020-0023.html 

The proposed version to address this threat is ESXi670-202010401-SG for existing 6.5 hosts or ESXi675-202010401-SG for existing 6.7 hosts. 

It appears that the latest json version for download from My Nutanix is 6.7.0 U3 - which is slightly older than the version being proposed to resolve the vulnerability. 

Thanks!

Hi mandg,

Thank you for the question.

Nutanix qualifies major versions and major updates. Patches are not qualified but are supported.

ESXi670-202010401-SG and ESXi675-202010401-SG are patches and that is why they are not listed in the JSON.

Does that answer your question, mandg?
