VMware Workstation is a virtual machine for developers and system
|
|
administrators. VMware Player is a freeware virtualization software
|
|
that can run guests produced by other VMware products.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in several VMware
|
|
products. Neel Mehta and Ryan Smith (IBM ISS X-Force) discovered that
|
|
the DHCP server contains an integer overflow vulnerability
|
|
(CVE-2007-0062), an integer underflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-0063) and
|
|
another error when handling malformed packets (CVE-2007-0061), leading
|
|
to stack-based buffer overflows or stack corruption. Rafal Wojtczvk
|
|
(McAfee) discovered two unspecified errors that allow authenticated
|
|
users with administrative or login privileges on a guest operating
|
|
system to corrupt memory or cause a Denial of Service (CVE-2007-4496,
|
|
CVE-2007-4497). Another unspecified vulnerability related to untrusted
|
|
virtual machine images was discovered (CVE-2007-5617).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
VMware products also shipped code copies of software with several
|
|
vulnerabilities: Samba (GLSA-200705-15), BIND (GLSA-200702-06), MIT
|
|
Kerberos 5 (GLSA-200707-11), Vixie Cron (GLSA-200704-11), shadow
|
|
(GLSA-200606-02), OpenLDAP (CVE-2006-4600), PAM (CVE-2004-0813,
|
|
CVE-2007-1716), GCC (CVE-2006-3619) and GDB (CVE-2006-4146).

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Remote attackers within a guest system could possibly exploit these
|
|
vulnerabilities to execute code on the host system with elevated
|
|
privileges or to cause a Denial of Service.
|
|

<workaround>
|

<p>
|

There is no known workaround at this time.

All VMware Workstation users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/vmware-workstation-5.5.5.56455"</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All VMware Player users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/vmware-player-1.0.5.56455"</code>
