HighSummary
VMware Workstation 8.x przed wersją 8.0.3, VMware Player 4.x przed wersją 4.0.3, VMware Fusion 4.x do wersji 4.1.2, VMware ESXi 3.5 do 5.0 oraz VMware ESX 3.5 do 4.1 nieprawidłowo konfiguruje wirtualne urządzenie dyskietki. Umożliwia to użytkownikom systemu gościa spowodowanie odmowy usługi lub potencjalne wykonanie dowolnego kodu na systemie operacyjnym gospodarza, wykorzystując uprawnienia administracyjne w systemie gościa.
Risk Assessment
Podatność ta może prowadzić do poważnych zakłóceń w działaniu systemu gospodarza oraz umożliwić atakującym uzyskanie nieautoryzowanego dostępu do systemu. W konsekwencji może to prowadzić do utraty danych lub naruszenia bezpieczeństwa organizacji.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację do najnowszych wersji VMware Workstation, Player, Fusion, ESXi oraz ESX, aby usunąć tę podatność. Dodatkowo warto przeprowadzić audyt konfiguracji wirtualnych maszyn w celu zapewnienia ich bezpieczeństwa.

Original NVD description (English source)
VMware Workstation 8.x before 8.0.3, VMware Player 4.x before 4.0.3, VMware Fusion 4.x through 4.1.2, VMware ESXi 3.5 through 5.0, and VMware ESX 3.5 through 4.1 do not properly configure the virtual floppy device, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write operation and VMX process crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host OS by leveraging administrative privileges on the guest OS.
