Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in various VMware products, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain security restrictions, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), or gain escalated privileges.
1) An error exists in the CPU hardware emulation when handling the Trap flag. This can be exploited by a local user on a guest operating system to gain escalated privileges.
2) An unspecified error in the implementation of virtual machine hardware can be exploited to write to arbitrary physical memory on the host via a specially crafted request sent from a guest operating system.
3) An unspecified error in a guest virtual device driver can be exploited to crash the host system.
Please see vendor's advisories for a list of affected products and versions.
