Vmware : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score between 4 and 4.99

The configuration of VMware ESX Server 2.x, 2.0.x, 2.1.x, and 2.5.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (shutdown) via the (1) halt, (2) poweroff, and (3) reboot scripts executed at the service console.

hcmon.sys in VMware Workstation 6.5.1 and earlier, VMware Player 2.5.1 and earlier, VMware ACE 2.5.1 and earlier, and VMware Server 1.0.x before 1.0.9 build 156507 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 build 156745 uses the METHOD_NEITHER communication method for IOCTLs, which allows local users to cause a denial of service via a crafted IOCTL request.

nfsd in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.9 does not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the root_squash option.

Unspecified vulnerability in an ioctl in hcmon.sys in VMware Workstation 6.5.1 and earlier, VMware Player 2.5.1 and earlier, VMware ACE 2.5.1 and earlier, and VMware Server 1.0.x before 1.0.9 build 156507 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 build 156745 allows local users to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-3761.

vmx86.sys in VMware Workstation 10.0.1 build 1379776 and VMware Player 6.0.1 build 1379776 on Windows might allow local users to cause a denial of service (read access violation and system crash) via a crafted buffer in an IOCTL call. NOTE: the researcher reports "Vendor rated issue as non-exploitable."

VMware AirWatch Console (AWC) contains a Broken Access Control vulnerability. Successful exploitation of this issue could result in end-user device details being disclosed to an unauthorized administrator.

The vRealize Operations Manager API (8.x prior to 8.5) contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability. A malicious actor with administrative access to vRealize Operations Manager API can read any arbitrary file on server leading to information disclosure.

VMware Cloud Foundation contains an information disclosure vulnerability due to logging of credentials in plain-text within multiple log files on the SDDC Manager. A malicious actor with root access on VMware Cloud Foundation SDDC Manager may be able to view credentials in plaintext within one or more log files.

VMware Aria Operations contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability. A malicious actor with administrative privileges may be able to read arbitrary files containing sensitive data.

vRealize Operations (vROps) contains a broken access control vulnerability. VMware has evaluated the severity of this issue to be in the Moderate severity range with a maximum CVSSv3 base score of 4.4.

RabbitMQ is a multi-protocol messaging and streaming broker. HTTP API did not enforce an HTTP request body limit, making it vulnerable for denial of service (DoS) attacks with very large messages. An authenticated user with sufficient credentials can publish a very large messages over the HTTP API and cause target node to be terminated by an "out-of-memory killer"-like mechanism. This vulnerability has been patched in versions 3.11.24 and 3.12.7.

Aria Operations for Networks contains a local file read vulnerability. A malicious actor with admin privileges may exploit this vulnerability leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Pivotal RabbitMQ, 3.7 versions prior to v3.7.20 and 3.8 version prior to v3.8.1, and RabbitMQ for PCF, 1.16.x versions prior to 1.16.7 and 1.17.x versions prior to 1.17.4, contain two endpoints, federation and shovel, which do not properly sanitize user input. A remote authenticated malicious user with administrative access could craft a cross site scripting attack via the vhost or node name fields that could grant access to virtual hosts and policy management information.

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in VMware vRealize Log Insight prior to 8.1.0 due to improper Input validation.

RabbitMQ is a multi-protocol messaging broker. In rabbitmq-server prior to version 3.8.18, when a federation link was displayed in the RabbitMQ management UI via the `rabbitmq_federation_management` plugin, its consumer tag was rendered without proper <script> tag sanitization. This potentially allows for JavaScript code execution in the context of the page. The user must be signed in and have elevated permissions (manage federation upstreams and policies) for this to occur. The vulnerability is patched in RabbitMQ 3.8.18. As a workaround, disable the `rabbitmq_federation_management` plugin and use [CLI tools](https://www.rabbitmq.com/cli.html) instead.

Aria Operations for Networks contains a cross site scripting vulnerability. A malicious actor with admin privileges can inject a malicious payload into the login banner and takeover the user account.  

VMware SD-WAN Edge contains a missing authentication and protection mechanism vulnerability. A malicious actor with physical access to the SD-WAN Edge appliance during activation can potentially exploit this vulnerability to access the BIOS configuration. In addition, the malicious actor may be able to exploit the default boot priority configured.

Unspecified vulnerability in VMware ESXi 3.5 before ESXe350-200901401-I-SG and ESX 3.5 before ESX350-200901401-SG allows local administrators to cause a denial of service (host crash) via a snapshot with a malformed VMDK delta disk.

vm-support 0.88 in VMware Tools, as distributed with VMware Workstation through 10.0.3 and other products, uses 0644 permissions for the vm-support archive, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by extracting files from this archive.

VMware Workstation Pro/Player 12.x before 12.5.3 contains a security vulnerability that exists in the SVGA driver. An attacker may exploit this issue to crash the VM or trigger an out-of-bound read. Note: This issue can be triggered only when the host has no graphics card or no graphics drivers are installed.

Spring-integration-zip versions prior to 1.0.1 exposes an arbitrary file write vulnerability, which can be achieved using a specially crafted zip archive (affects other archives as well, bzip2, tar, xz, war, cpio, 7z) that holds path traversal filenames. So when the filename gets concatenated to the target extraction directory, the final path ends up outside of the target folder.

Addresses partial fix in CVE-2018-1261. Pivotal spring-integration-zip, versions prior to 1.0.2, exposes an arbitrary file write vulnerability, that can be achieved using a specially crafted zip archive (affects other archives as well, bzip2, tar, xz, war, cpio, 7z), that holds path traversal filenames. So when the filename gets concatenated to the target extraction directory, the final path ends up outside of the target folder.

VMware Workstation and Fusion contain a network denial-of-service vulnerability due to improper handling of certain IPv6 packets. VMware has evaluated the severity of this issue to be in the Moderate severity range with a maximum CVSSv3 base score of 4.7.

VMware ESXi (7.0 before ESXi_7.0.0-1.20.16321839, 6.7 before ESXi670-202006401-SG and 6.5 before ESXi650-202005401-SG), Workstation (15.x before 15.5.2), and Fusion (11.x before 11.5.2) contain an information leak in the EHCI USB controller. A malicious actor with local access to a virtual machine may be able to read privileged information contained in the hypervisor's memory. Additional conditions beyond the attacker's control need to be present for exploitation to be possible.

VMware Workstation 4.0.1 for Linux, build 5289 and earlier, allows local users to delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
