Description

VMware Workstation (14.x before 14.1.1, 12.x) and Fusion (10.x before 10.1.1 and 8.x) contain a denial-of-service vulnerability which can be triggered by opening a large number of VNC sessions. Note: In order for exploitation to be possible on Workstation and Fusion, VNC must be manually enabled.

Solution(s)

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
