critical Nessus Plugin ID 197187

Language:

Synopsis

A virtualization application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote host is 17.0.x prior to 17.5.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

 - VMware Workstation and Fusion contain a use-after-free vulnerability in the vbluetooth device. (CVE-2024-22267)

 - VMware Workstation contains a heap buffer-overflow vulnerability in the Shader functionality. (CVE-2024-22268)

 - VMware Workstation and Fusion contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the vbluetooth device. (CVE-2024-22269)

 - VMware Workstation and Fusion contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the Host Guest File Sharing (HGFS) functionality. (CVE-2024-22270)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update to VMware Workstation version 17.5.2, or later.
