Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
The host is installed with VMware Workstation 8.x before 8.0.5 and 9.x before 9.0.1 on Windows and is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability. A flaw is present in the Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) implementation in vmci.sys, which fails to properly restrict memory allocation by control code. Successful exploitation allows local users to gain privileges.
