Title: VMware Products Multiple Vulnerabilities
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
VMware products are virtualization applications capable of running virtual machines for a wide variety of operating platforms.
The applications are prone to the following vulnerabilities:
- A privilege-escalation vulnerability occurs because certain services aren't registered properly. This issue affects Windows 2000 hosted products.
- A denial-of-service vulnerability affects a DHCP service running on the host computer.
- Multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities reside in the VMCI interface. Attackers can exploit these issues by making specially crafted calls to the interface. This may exhaust or corrupt memory.
Successful attacks will allow attackers to gain elevated privileges and deny service to legitimate users.
NOTE: Some of these issues may pose a remote threat, but this has not been confirmed.
The following are vulnerable:
VMware Workstation 6.0.2 and earlier
VMware Workstation 5.5.4 and earlier
VMware Player 2.0.2 and earlier
