<background>
<p>VMware Player, Server, and Workstation allow emulation of a complete PC
on a PC without the usual performance overhead of most emulators.
</p>

<description>
<p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in VMware Player, Server,
and Workstation. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for
details.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>Local users may be able to gain escalated privileges, cause a Denial of
Service, or gain sensitive information.
</p>
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file,
possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code, or a Denial
of Service. Remote attackers also may be able to spoof DNS traffic, read
arbitrary files, or inject arbitrary web script to the VMware Server
Console.
</p>
<p>Furthermore, guest OS users may be able to execute arbitrary code on the
host OS, gain escalated privileges on the guest OS, or cause a Denial of
Service (crash the host OS).
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>Gentoo discontinued support for VMware Player. We recommend that users
unmerge VMware Player:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --unmerge "app-emulation/vmware-player"
</code>
<p>NOTE: Users could upgrade to
&gt;=app-emulation/vmware-player-3.1.5”, however these packages are
not currently stable.
</p>
<p>Gentoo discontinued support for VMware Workstation. We recommend that
users unmerge VMware Workstation:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --unmerge "app-emulation/vmware-workstation"
</code>
<p>NOTE: Users could upgrade to
&gt;=app-emulation/vmware-workstation-7.1.5”, however these packages
are not currently stable.
</p>
<p>Gentoo discontinued support for VMware Server. We recommend that users
unmerge VMware Server:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --unmerge "app-emulation/vmware-server"
</code>
