Synopsis |
| 17 |
======== |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in VMware Player, Server, and |
| 20 |
Workstation, allowing remote and local attackers to conduct several |
| 21 |
attacks, including privilege escalation, remote execution of arbitrary |
| 22 |
code, and a Denial of Service. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Background |
| 25 |
========== |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
VMware Player, Server, and Workstation allow emulation of a complete PC |
| 28 |
on a PC without the usual performance overhead of most emulators. |
| 29 |

existing packages to be marked stable by their |

Description |
| 51 |
=========== |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in VMware Player, Server, |
| 54 |
and Workstation. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for |
| 55 |
details. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Impact |
| 58 |
====== |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Local users may be able to gain escalated privileges, cause a Denial of |
| 61 |
Service, or gain sensitive information. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file, |
| 64 |
possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code, or a |
| 65 |
Denial of Service. Remote attackers also may be able to spoof DNS |
| 66 |
traffic, read arbitrary files, or inject arbitrary web script to the |
| 67 |
VMware Server Console. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Furthermore, guest OS users may be able to execute arbitrary code on |
| 70 |
the host OS, gain escalated privileges on the guest OS, or cause a |
| 71 |
Denial of Service (crash the host OS). |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
Workaround |
| 74 |
========== |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
Resolution |
| 79 |
========== |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
Gentoo discontinued support for VMware Player. We recommend that users |
| 82 |
unmerge VMware Player: |
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
# emerge --unmerge "app-emulation/vmware-player" |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
NOTE: Users could upgrade to ">=app-emulation/vmware-player-3.1.5", |
| 87 |
however these packages are not currently stable. |
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
Gentoo discontinued support for VMware Workstation. We recommend that |
| 90 |
users unmerge VMware Workstation: |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
# emerge --unmerge "app-emulation/vmware-workstation" |
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
NOTE: Users could upgrade to |
| 95 |
">=app-emulation/vmware-workstation-7.1.5", however these packages are |
| 96 |
not currently stable. |
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
Gentoo discontinued support for VMware Server. We recommend that users |
| 99 |
unmerge VMware Server: |
| 100 |
|
| 101 |
# emerge --unmerge "app-emulation/vmware-server" |
| 102 |
|
