Detail
| a. VMware Host Checkpoint file memory corruption Input data is not properly validated when loading Checkpoint files. This may allow an attacker with the ability to load a specially crafted Checkpoint file to execute arbitrary code on the host. Workaround - None identified Mitigation - Do not import virtual machines from untrusted sources. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2012-3288 to this issue. b. VMware Virtual Machine Remote Device Denial of Service A device (e.g. CD-ROM, keyboard) that is available to a virtual machine while physically connected to a system that does not run the virtual machine is referred to as a remote device. Traffic coming from remote virtual devices is incorrectly handled. This may allow an attacker who is capable of manipulating the traffic from a remote virtual device to crash the virtual machine. Workaround - None identified Mitigation - Users need administrative privileges on the virtual machine in order to attach remote devices. - Do not attach untrusted remote devices to a virtual machine. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2012-3289 to this issue. |
