Certain VMware customers holding perpetual licenses are unable to access crucial security patches due to the absence of current support contracts with Broadcom. The company has mandated that these contracts be renewed through software subscriptions, leaving many users without necessary updates for products still supported. While Broadcom's CEO promised free access to zero-day security patches, users report difficulties in accessing these resources and a potential 90-day wait for fixes. VMware confirmed that only entitled customers can currently obtain patches, indicating upcoming changes to accessibility for non-entitled customers.
Some customers with perpetual licenses for VMware products lack access to security patches without an active support contract, exposing them to increased risk of attacks.
Despite promises of free access to zero-day security patches for supported versions of vSphere, many users report difficulties in downloading these critical updates.
