Descriptions

Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) in VMware Workstation 6.0.x before 6.0.3, VMware Player 2.0.x before 2.0.3, and VMware ACE 2.0.x before 2.0.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via crafted VMCI calls that trigger "memory exhaustion and memory corruption."

Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) en VMware Workstation versiones 6.0.x anteriores a 6.0.3, VMware Player versiones 2.0.x anterirores a 2.0.3, y VMware ACE versiones 2.0.x anteriores a 2.0.1 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída del sistema operativo del servidor) mediante llamadas VMCI especialmente construidas que provocan el agotamiento y la corrupción de la memoria.
