Detail

a. Out-of-bounds write vulnerability in SVGA

VMware ESXi, Workstation & Fusion contain an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in SVGA device. This issue may allow a guest to execute code on the host.

VMware would like to thank Nico Golde and Ralf-Philipp Weinmann of Comsecuris UG (haftungsbeschraenkt) working with ZDI for reporting this issue to us.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the identifier CVE-2017-4924 to this issue.

Column 5 of the following table lists the action required to remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is available.

b. Guest RPC NULL pointer dereference vulnerability

VMware ESXi, Workstation & Fusion contain a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. This issue occurs when handling guest RPC requests. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow attackers with normal user privileges to crash their VMs.

VMware would like to thank Zhang Haitao for reporting this issue to us.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the identifier CVE-2017-4925 to this issue.

Column 5 of the following table lists the action required to remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is available.

c. Stored XSS in H5 Client

vCenter Server H5 Client contains a vulnerability that may allow for stored cross-site scripting (XSS). An attacker with VC user privileges can inject malicious java-scripts which will get executed when other VC users access the page.

VMware would like to thank Thomas Ornetzeder for reporting this issue to us.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the identifier CVE-2017-4926 to this issue.

Column 5 of the following table lists the action required to remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is available.
