Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The DHCP server in VMware products is vulnerable to remote code execution via a malformed packet that corrupts stack memory. The vulnerability affects older versions of VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, and Server.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely take control of the system running the vulnerable DHCP server, leading to full compromise of the virtualized environment.

Recommendation

Immediately update VMware software to versions without the vulnerability: Workstation to 5.5.5 Build 56455 or 6.0.1 Build 55017, Player to 1.0.5 Build 56455 or 2.0.1 Build 55017, ACE to 1.0.3 Build 54075 or 2.0.1 Build 55017, Server to 1.0.4 Build 56528.

Original NVD description (English source)

The DHCP server in EMC VMware Workstation before 5.5.5 Build 56455 and 6.x before 6.0.1 Build 55017, Player before 1.0.5 Build 56455 and Player 2 before 2.0.1 Build 55017, ACE before 1.0.3 Build 54075 and ACE 2 before 2.0.1 Build 55017, and Server before 1.0.4 Build 56528 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed packet that triggers "corrupt stack memory."
