Programming API May Crash if Client Uses an Invalid Host Handle
Details
The Programming API function VixHost_Connect( ) results in a host
handle that is used for subsequent function calls, such as
VixVM_Open( ). If the call to VixHost_Connect( ) fails, the host
handle is invalid. Using an invalid handle after failing to connect
to the host may cause the API library to crash.
Solution
This is a known issue for the Programming API for VMware Server
1.0.
