Description

Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) in VMware Workstation 6.0.x before 6.0.3, VMware Player 2.0.x before 2.0.3, and VMware ACE 2.0.x before 2.0.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via crafted VMCI calls that trigger "memory exhaustion and memory corruption."

Solution(s)

  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-app-emulation-vmware-player
  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-app-emulation-vmware-server
  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-app-emulation-vmware-workstation
