Descriptions

Directory traversal vulnerability in the Shared Folders feature for VMWare ACE 1.0.2 and 2.0.2, Player 1.0.4 and 2.0.2, and Workstation 5.5.4 and 6.0.2 allows guest OS users to read and write arbitrary files on the host OS via a multibyte string that produces a wide character string containing .. (dot dot) sequences, which bypasses the protection mechanism, as demonstrated using a "%c0%2e%c0%2e" string.

Vulnerabilidad de salto de directorio en la característica de Archivos Compartidos de VMWare ACE 1.0.2 y 2.0.2, Player 1.0.4 y 2.0.2, y Workstation 5.5.4 y 6.0.2 permite a usuarios de SO invitados leer y escribir archivos de su elección en el SO anfitrión a través de una cadena multibyte que produce una cadena de caracteres ancha que contiene secuencias de .. (punto punto), lo que evita el mecanismo de protección, como se demostró usando una cadena "%c0%2e%c0%2e".
