Description

VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion contain a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the USB 2.0 controller (EHCI). A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine may exploit this issue to execute code as the virtual machine's VMX process running on the host. On ESXi, the exploitation is contained within the VMX sandbox whereas, on Workstation and Fusion, this may lead to code execution on the machine where Workstation or Fusion is installed.

Affected configurations

• vmware workstation (>= 16.0.0 < 16.2.5) • vmware esxi 7.0 • vmware esxi 8.0 • vmware fusion (>= 12.0.0 < 12.2.5)
