Security readout for executives and security teams
A local user on a system running VMware 1.1.2 could abuse a symbolic link trick to make the product behave incorrectly and stop working, causing a denial of service. This is a very old (2000-era) Linux desktop virtualization flaw and only affects someone with a shell account on the host, not remote attackers. Very low in modern environments. VMware 1.1.2 shipped around 1999-2000 for Linux hosts and is effectively extinct. Exposure exists only where a legacy multi-user Linux host still runs that specific build and permits untrusted local shell users. Low priority. This is a 25-year-old local denial-of-service bug in an obsolete product with no KEV listing. Address only if legacy asset discovery uncovers a system still running VMware 1.1.2; otherwise treat as historical. Mitigation focus: Inventory any hosts still running VMware 1.1.2 and plan retirement or upgrade to a supported hypervisor.; Restrict local shell access on multi-user hosts running legacy VMware to trusted administrators.; Consult current VMware/Broadcom guidance for any supported successor product before applying fixes..
