Descriptions

The sudo helper in the HashiCorp Vagrant VMware Fusion plugin (aka vagrant-vmware-fusion) before 4.0.21 allows local users to gain root privileges by leveraging failure to verify the path to the encoded ruby script or scrub the PATH variable.

El asistente de comandos sudo en el plugin HashiCorp Vagrant VMware Fusion (también conocido como vagrant-vmware-fusion) en sus versiones anteriores a la 4.0.21 permite a los usuarios locales obtener privilegios root utilizando el error para verificar la ruta al script en ruby codificado o manipulando la variable PATH.

Hashicorp vagrant-vmware-fusion versions 4.0.20 and below suffer from a local root privilege escalation vulnerability.
