What it is about
Die Virtualisierungssoftware von VMware ermöglicht die simultane Ausführung von verschiedenen Betriebssystemen auf einem Host-System. Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in VMware Workstation und VMware Fusion ausnutzen, um einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen, um Informationen offenzulegen, und um Daten zu manipulieren.
Under what conditions?
The BSI does not name any particular preconditions.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen
- Informationen offenzulegen
- Daten zu manipulieren
Am I affected?
Affected according to the BSI:
- VMware Workstation <25H2u1
- VMware Fusion <25H2u1
The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.
What helps?
Update to at least:
