Descriptions

VMware ESXi (6.7, 6.5, 6.0), Workstation (15.x and 14.x) and Fusion (11.x and 10.x) contain a denial-of-service vulnerability due to an infinite loop in a 3D-rendering shader. Successfully exploiting this issue may allow an attacker with normal user privileges in the guest to make the VM unresponsive, and in some cases, possibly result other VMs on the host or the host itself becoming unresponsive.

VMware ESXi (6.7, 6.5, 6.0), Workstation (15.x y 14.x) y Fusion (11.x y 10.x) contienen una vulnerabilidad de denegación de servicio (DoS) debido a un bucle infinito en un shader de renderizado 3D. Su explotación con éxito podría permitir que un atacante con privilegios de usuario normales en el invitado haga que la máquina virtual deje de responder y, en algunos casos, haga que otras máquinas virtuales en el host o el propio host se vuelvan inoperativos.
