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. |

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 |
