Descriptions
The drag-and-drop (aka DnD) function in VMware Workstation Pro 12.x before 12.5.2 and VMware Workstation Player 12.x before 12.5.2 and VMware Fusion and Fusion Pro 8.x before 8.5.2 allows guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access on the host OS) via unspecified vectors.
La función de arrastrar y soltar (también conocida como DnD) en VMware Workstation Pro 12.x en versiones anteriores a 12.5.2 y VMware Workstation Player 12.x en versiones anteriores a 12.5.2 y VMware Fusion y Fusion Pro 8.x en versiones anteriores a 8.5.2 permite a usuarios invitados de SO ejecutar código arbitrario en el SO anfitrión o provocar una denegación de servicio (acceso a memoria fuera de límites en el SO anfitrión) a través de vectores no especificados.
VMware Workstation and Fusion updates address a critical out-of-bounds memory access vulnerability.
