VMware Releases Critical Patches for Workstation and Fusion Software

VMware has released updates to fix multiple security flaws in its Workstation and Fusion software. The most severe of the vulnerabilities is a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability that could allow local attackers to execute code as the virtual machine's VMX process running on the host. Other vulnerabilities that were fixed include an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could enable a local adversary with admin privileges to read sensitive information contained in hypervisor memory from a virtual machine, a local privilege escalation flaw, and an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability in SCSI CD/DVD device emulation. VMware is recommending that users turn off Bluetooth support on the virtual machine as a temporary workaround for the first two vulnerabilities. The flaws have been addressed in Workstation version 17.0.2 and Fusion version 13.0.2.
