Descriptions

VMware ESXi (6.7 before ESXi670-201806401-BG), Workstation (14.x before 14.1.2), and Fusion (10.x before 10.1.2) contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the shader translator. Successful exploitation of this issue may lead to information disclosure or may allow attackers with normal user privileges to crash their VMs, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-6965 and CVE-2018-6967.

VMware ESXi (versiones 6.7, anteriores a ESXi670-201806401-BG), Workstation (versiones 14.x, anteriores a la 14.1.2) y Fusion (versiones 10.x, anteriores a la 10.1.2) contienen una vulnerabilidad de lectura fuera de límites en el traductor del shader. Si este error se explota de manera exitosa, podría dar lugar a una divulgación de información o podría permitir que atacantes con privilegios de usuario normal provoquen el cierre inesperado de sus máquinas virtuales. Esta vulnerabilidad es diferente de CVE-2018-6965 y CVE-2018-6967.
