Update Details

Security

  • Resolves CVE-2025-41236, CVE-2025-41237, CVE-2025-41238, and CVE-2025-41239; Broadcom refers to VMSA-2025-0013 for impact details.
  • Resolves CVE-2025-2884, evaluated by Broadcom as moderate severity.

Known Issues

  • Updating ESXi with esxcli software vib update or esxcli software vib install is not supported for ESXi 8.0 Update 2 and later; use esxcli software profile update or another supported upgrade method.
  • The release notes list multiple existing issues affecting networking, storage, DPU behavior, vSphere Lifecycle Manager, and the Host Client; several have no workaround.

Hints

  • Host reboot is required, and virtual machines must be migrated or shut down before applying the patch.
  • The ESXi and esx-update bulletins are dependent on each other; include both in a single host patch baseline or use the rollup bulletin to avoid patching failures.
  • For offline bundle installation, the download filename is VMware-ESXi-8.0U3f-24784735-depot.zip.
  • Broadcom Support Portal download instructions and authenticated download KBs are referenced in the release notes: 390121, 390098, and 389276.
