vmware-mount in VMware Workstation 7.x before 7.1.2 build 301548 on Linux, VMware Player 3.1.x before 3.1.2 build 301548 on Linux, VMware Server 2.0.2 on Linux, and VMware Fusion 3.1.x before 3.1.2 build 332101 does not properly load libraries, which allows host OS users to gain privileges via vectors involving shared object files.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a local privilege-escalation flaw in older VMware hosted products. A user who already has access to the host operating system could potentially gain higher privileges because vmware-mount loads shared libraries improperly. It is not described as a remote attack in the provided sources. Exposure is mainly legacy systems running the listed pre-fix VMware versions, especially Linux hosts using Workstation 7.x, Player 3.1.x, or Server 2.0.2. Fusion 3.1.x before build 332101 is also named. Treat as high priority only where affected legacy VMware products still exist. The business risk is host compromise from an already-local user, not internet-scale remote exploitation based on the provided evidence. Mitigation focus: Identify affected VMware hosted product versions and builds.; Upgrade to the fixed VMware builds named in the advisory.; Restrict local host OS access until upgraded..
