The DHCP server in EMC VMware Workstation before 5.5.5 Build 56455 and 6.x before 6.0.1 Build 55017, Player before 1.0.5 Build 56455 and Player 2 before 2.0.1 Build 55017, ACE before 1.0.3 Build 54075 and ACE 2 before 2.0.1 Build 55017, and Server before 1.0.4 Build 56528 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed packet that triggers "corrupt stack memory."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old VMware vulnerability where the built-in DHCP server in several VMware products could be crashed or subverted by a malformed network packet, allowing arbitrary code execution. The main business concern is unmanaged legacy virtualization software still running on workstations or servers. Exposure is most likely in legacy VMware installations using affected Workstation, Player, ACE, or Server versions with the VMware DHCP service present. Modern environments are mainly at risk if old lab, developer, or unsupported virtualization hosts remain in use. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item with high severity when affected products are found. Prioritize developer workstations, lab servers, and forgotten virtualization hosts because the issue enables code execution and fixed builds have existed since 2007. Mitigation focus: Upgrade VMware Workstation to 5.5.5 Build 56455 or 6.0.1 Build 55017 or later.; Upgrade VMware Player to 1.0.5 Build 56455 or Player 2.0.1 Build 55017 or later.; Upgrade VMware ACE to 1.0.3 Build 54075 or ACE 2.0.1 Build 55017 or later..
