 https://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2022-0005.html


Environment

VMware NSX Data Center for vSphere 6.4.x

Resolution

- Upgrade to NSX-V 6.4.13. 
- If using VMware Cloud Foundation, upgrade to a VCF version with NSX-T or NSX-V 6.4.13, once available.

Workaround:
By default, SSH access to the following virtual machines listed below is disabled.  However, if a customer has enabled SSH capabilities to these virtual machines, it is recommend to disable SSH access for the following VMs until upgrading to a Fixed Version to mitigate this vulnerability.  If these virtual machines are not present in the environment, there is no action necessary: 
 
NSX Edge Services Gateway
NSX Distributed Logical Router Control VM
 

VMware recommends only enabling SSH access to these virtual machines in the case of troubleshooting purposes only.
