ESXi 6.7.0 Question

Hello,

I have an alert:

This host is potentially vulnerable to issues described in CVE-2018-3646, please refer to https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/55636 for details and VMware recommendations.

Version: 6.7.0 Update 3 (Build 14320388)

Is this simply just upgrading the host ?

Youre 1.5 years late.  The issue cannot be fixed/patched. What VMware did is give you an config option for different behavior of the scheduler to mitigate the issue by the cost of a performance hit. This is the reason why its not enabled by default and you should read https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/55806

Regards,
Joerg
