Directory traversal vulnerability in VMware Workstation and VMware Player via a multibyte stringID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:36417 | Date: (C)2016-08-03 (M)2021-06-06 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
The host is installed with VMware Workstation 5.5.4, 6.0.2, VMware Player 1.0.4 or 2.0.2 and is prone to a directory traversal vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to handle a crafted VMCI calls that trigger memory. Successful exploitation allows attackers to allows guest OS users to read and write arbitrary files on the host OS string that produces a wide character string containing .. (dot dot) sequences, which bypasses the protection mechanism.
