ASA-2019-00166 – VMware: Out-of-bounds write vulnerability in e1000 and e1000e virtual network adapters
VMware Workstation and Fusion updates address an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the e1000 and e1000e virtual network adapters. Exploitation of this issue may lead to code execution on the host from the guest but it is more likely to result in a denial of service of the guest.
ASA-2019-00165 – VMware: Out-of-bounds write vulnerability in e1000 virtual network adapter
VMware Workstation and Fusion contain an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the e1000 virtual network adapter. This issue may allow a guest to execute code on the host.
ASA-2019-00164 – VMware: UHCI out-of-bounds read/write and TOCTOU vulnerabilities
VMware ESXi, Workstation and Fusion contain an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability and a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability in the virtual USB 1.1 UHCI (Universal Host Controller Interface). Exploitation of these issues requires an attacker to have access to a virtual machine with a virtual USB controller present. These issues may allow a guest to execute code on the host.
ASA-2019-00138 – VMware: COM classes used by the VMX process on a Windows host can be hijacked leading to elevation of privilege
COM classes are not handled appropriately. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow hijacking of COM classes used by the VMX process, on a Windows host, leading to elevation of privilege.
ASA-2019-00137 – VMware: The creation of the VMX process on a Windows host can be hijacked leading to elevation of privilege
Workstation does not handle paths appropriately. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow the path to the VMX executable, on a Windows host, to be hijacked by a non-administrator leading to elevation of privilege.
