Descriptions
VMware ESXi (6.0 before ESXi600-201711101-SG, 5.5 ESXi550-201709101-SG), Workstation (12.x before 12.5.8), and Fusion (8.x before 8.5.9) contain a vulnerability that could allow an authenticated VNC session to cause a stack overflow via a specific set of VNC packets. Successful exploitation of this issue could result in remote code execution in a virtual machine via the authenticated VNC session. Note: In order for exploitation to be possible in ESXi, VNC must be manually enabled in a virtual machine's .vmx configuration file. In addition, ESXi must be configured to allow VNC traffic through the built-in firewall.
VMware ESXi (6.0 anteriores a ESXi600-201711101-SG, 5.5 ESXi550-201709101-SG), Workstation (12.x anteriores a la 12.5.8) y Fusion (8.x anteriores a la 8.5.9) contienen una vulnerabilidad que podría permitir que una sesión VNC autenticada provoque un desbordamiento de pila mediante una serie específica de paquetes VNC. La explotación exitosa de esta vulnerabilidad podría resultar en la ejecución remota de código en una máquina virtual mediante la sesión VNC autenticada. Nota: Para que sea posible la explotación en ESXi, VNC debe estar habilitado manualmente en un archivo de configuración .vmx de la máquina virtual. Además, ESXi se debe configurar para permitir el tráfico VNC a través del firewall incorporado.
