Descriptions

An insecure suid wrapper binary in the HashiCorp Vagrant VMware Fusion plugin (aka vagrant-vmware-fusion) 4.0.24 and earlier allows a non-root user to obtain a root shell.

Un binario contenedor de suid inseguro en el plugin HashiCorp Vagrant VMware Fusion (también conocido como vagrant-vmware-fusion), en la versión 4.0.24 y anteriores, permite que un usuario no root obtenga un shell root.

Hashicorp vagrant-vmware-fusion versions 4.0.24 and below suffer from a local privilege escalation vulnerability. This is the same issue that affected the last version but the vendor failed to properly address the issue.
