Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
The host is installed with VMware Workstation 16.x before 16.2.5 or VMware Player 16.x before 16.2.5 and is prone to a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to properly handle the USB 2.0 controller (EHCI). Successful exploitation allows an attacker with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine to exploit this issue to execute code as the virtual machine's VMX process running on the host.
