Detail
a. Kernel code execution vulnerability An file permission problem in the vmx86 kernel extension allows for executing arbitrary code in the host system kernel context by an unprivileged user on the host system. VMware would like to thank Neil Kettle of Convergent Network Solutions for reporting this issue to us. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-3281 to this issue. b. Kernel denial of service vulnerability An integer overflow vulnerability in the vmx86 kernel extension allows for a denial of service of the host by an unprivileged user on the host system. VMware would like to thank Neil Kettle of Convergent Network Solutions for reporting this issue to us. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-3282 to this issue. To remediate the above issues update your product using the table below. b.
