VMware Workstation and Fusion contain a heap buffer-overflow vulnerability in the Shader functionality. A malicious actor with non-administrative access to a virtual machine with 3D graphics enabled may be able to exploit this vulnerability to create a denial of service condition.
VMware Workstation y Fusion contienen una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer de almacenamiento dinámico en la funcionalidad Shader. Un actor malintencionado con acceso no administrativo a una máquina virtual con gráficos 3D habilitados puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para crear una condición de denegación de servicio.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of VMware Workstation. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target in a guest system must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the SVGA virtual device. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the hypervisor.
