VMware Workstation 10.x before 10.0.5, VMware Player 6.x before 6.0.5, VMware Fusion 6.x before 6.0.5, and VMware ESXi 5.0 through 5.5 allow host OS users to gain host OS privileges or cause a denial of service (arbitrary write to a file) by modifying a configuration file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This VMware issue affects older Workstation, Player, Fusion, and ESXi versions. A user who already has host OS access could abuse a configuration-file handling flaw to gain higher host privileges or disrupt service. It is not described as remotely exploitable in the provided sources. Exposure is most likely on legacy VMware desktop virtualization systems or ESXi 5.0 to 5.5 hosts where untrusted or lower-privileged users have host OS access. Prioritize remediation where legacy VMware hosts support sensitive workloads or shared administrative access. The business risk is host compromise or service disruption from an insider or already-present local user. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Workstation to 10.0.5 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Player to 6.0.5 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Fusion to 6.0.5 or later where applicable..
