DHCP: Message Too Short
This protocol anomaly is an incomplete DHCP message that was sent as an UDP datagram. This can be a network error or exploit attempt.
Extended Description
VMware Workstation's DHCP server is prone to multiple remote code-execution issues, including a stack-based integer-underflow issue, a stack-based buffer-overflow issue, and an unspecified vulnerability. 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.
