Descriptions
Heap-based buffer overflow in the VMnc media codec in vmnc.dll in VMware Movie Decoder before 6.5.3 build 185404, VMware Workstation 6.5.x before 6.5.3 build 185404, VMware Player 2.5.x before 2.5.3 build 185404, and VMware ACE 2.5.x before 2.5.3 build 185404 on Windows might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a video file with crafted dimensions (aka framebuffer parameters).
Desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica (heap) en el VMnc media codec en VMware Movie Decoder anteriores a v6.5.3 build 185404, VMware Workstation v6.5.x anteriores a v6.5.3 build 185404, VMware Player v2.5.x anteriores a v2.5.3 build 185404, y VMware ACE v2.5.x anteriores a v2.5.3 build 185404 para Windows podría permitir a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección mediante un fichero de video con una dimensión modificada (también conocido como parámetros framebuffer).
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in various VMWare products, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the VMnc codec (vmnc.dll) and can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted video file with mismatched dimensions. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
