Title: VMware Workstation DHCP Server Multiple Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
VMware Workstation is virtualization software available for various operating platforms.
VMware Workstation's DHCP server is prone to multiple remote code-execution issues, including:
- A stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling a malformed DHCP packet.
- A stack-based integer-underflow vulnerability when handling a malformed DHCP packet.
An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application.
Versions prior to VMware Workstation 6.0.1 Build 55017 are vulnerable.
