Descriptions

VMware Workstation 5.5.3 build 34685 does not provide per-user restrictions on certain privileged actions, which allows local users to perform restricted operations such as changing system time, accessing hardware components, and stopping the "VMware tools service" service. NOTE: exploitation is simplified via (1) weak file permissions (Users = Read & Execute) for %PROGRAMFILES%\VMware; and weak registry key permissions (access by Users) for (2) vmmouse, (3) vmscsi, (4) VMTools, (5) vmx_svga, and (6) vmxnet in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\; which allows local users to perform various privileged actions outside of the guest OS by executing certain files under %PROGRAMFILES%\VMware\VMware Tools, as demonstrated by (a) VMControlPanel.cpl and (b) vmwareservice.exe.

VMware Workstation versión 5.5.3 build 34685, no proporciona restricciones por usuario en ciertas acciones privilegiadas, lo que permite a los usuarios locales realizar operaciones restringidas, tales como cambiar la hora del sistema, acceder a los componentes de hardware y detener el servicio "VMware tools service". NOTA: la explotación es simplificada por medio de (1) permisos de archivos débiles (Users = Read & Execute) para %PROGRAMFILES%\VMware; y permisos de clave de registro débiles (access by Users) para (2) vmmouse, (3) vmscsi, (4) VMTools, (5) vmx_svga y (6) vmxnet en HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\; lo que permite a los usuarios locales realizar varias acciones privilegiadas fuera del sistema operativo invitado por medio de la ejecución de ciertos archivos bajo herramientas %PROGRAMFILES%\VMware\VMware, como es demostrado por (a) VMControlPanel.cpl y (b) vmwareservice.exe.
