VMware Workstation (14.x before 14.1.2) and Fusion (10.x before 10.1.2) contain multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities that occur due to NULL pointer dereference issues in the RPC handler. Successful exploitation of these issues may allow an attacker with limited privileges on the guest machine trigger a denial-of-Service of their guest machine.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects older VMware desktop virtualization products. A user with limited privileges inside a guest virtual machine could trigger a crash or denial of service of that guest machine. The supplied sources do not describe host takeover, data theft, or active exploitation. Exposure is limited to environments still running VMware Workstation 14.x below 14.1.2 or Fusion 10.x below 10.1.2, especially where untrusted or many users access guest VMs. Treat this as a cleanup and availability risk, not an emergency based on the supplied evidence. Prioritize upgrades where affected VMware products support shared, untrusted, or business-critical guest workloads. Mitigation focus: Upgrade VMware Workstation 14.x installations to 14.1.2 or later.; Upgrade VMware Fusion 10.x installations to 10.1.2 or later.; Check VMware VMSA-2018-0013 for vendor-specific remediation guidance..
