Сводка

VMware guest operating systems might be able to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the host operating system through multiple flaws.

Назначение

VMware Workstation is a virtual machine for developers and system administrators. VMware Player is a freeware virtualization software that can run guests produced by other VMware products.

Уязвимые пакеты

Пакет	Уязвимый	Нетронутый	Архитектура(ы)
app-emulation/vmware-workstation	< 5.5.5.56455	>= 5.5.5.56455	All supported architectures
app-emulation/vmware-player	< 1.0.5.56455	>= 1.0.5.56455	All supported architectures

Описание

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in several VMware products. Neel Mehta and Ryan Smith (IBM ISS X-Force) discovered that the DHCP server contains an integer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-0062), an integer underflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-0063) and another error when handling malformed packets (CVE-2007-0061), leading to stack-based buffer overflows or stack corruption. Rafal Wojtczvk (McAfee) discovered two unspecified errors that allow authenticated users with administrative or login privileges on a guest operating system to corrupt memory or cause a Denial of Service (CVE-2007-4496, CVE-2007-4497). Another unspecified vulnerability related to untrusted virtual machine images was discovered (CVE-2007-5617).

VMware products also shipped code copies of software with several vulnerabilities: Samba (GLSA-200705-15), BIND (GLSA-200702-06), MIT Kerberos 5 (GLSA-200707-11), Vixie Cron (GLSA-200704-11), shadow (GLSA-200606-02), OpenLDAP (CVE-2006-4600), PAM (CVE-2004-0813, CVE-2007-1716), GCC (CVE-2006-3619) and GDB (CVE-2006-4146).

Воздействие

Remote attackers within a guest system could possibly exploit these vulnerabilities to execute code on the host system with elevated privileges or to cause a Denial of Service.

Обход

There is no known workaround at this time.

Решение

All VMware Workstation users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/vmware-workstation-5.5.5.56455"

All VMware Player users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/vmware-player-1.0.5.56455"
