Multiple buffer overflows in VIX API 1.1.x before 1.1.4 build 93057 on VMware Workstation 5.x and 6.x, VMware Player 1.x and 2.x, VMware ACE 2.x, VMware Server 1.x, VMware Fusion 1.x, VMware ESXi 3.5, and VMware ESX 3.0.1 through 3.5 allow guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS via unspecified vectors.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-2100 is a VMware VIX API buffer-overflow issue where a user inside a guest operating system could potentially run code on the host. That breaks virtualization isolation and can turn a compromised VM into a host compromise. The bundle names legacy VMware products and VIX API versions before 1.1.4 build 93057. Exposure is most likely in legacy VMware desktop, server, or hypervisor environments still running the listed product generations or bundled VIX API 1.1.x before build 93057. Modern supported VMware deployments may not be affected, but the source bundle does not provide current product mappings. Prioritize discovery and removal of legacy affected VMware deployments. This is not a new vulnerability, but guest-to-host code execution is a material isolation failure if old products remain installed. Mitigation focus: Upgrade VIX API to 1.1.4 build 93057 or later where applicable.; Apply the relevant VMware advisory updates for affected products.; Retire unsupported VMware versions listed in the CVE where updates are unavailable..
