VMware Fixes Critical Integer Overflow Issue in Workstation and Fusion
#1
Quote:VMware released multiple security updates that patch a critical integer overflow issue in the VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion software products.

The products impacted by this integer overflow security issue are the VMWare Workstation, VMware Workstation Player, VMware Workstation Pro, VMware Fusion, and VMware Fusion Pro.

With the help of VMware Fusion, macOS users can "run Windows and other x86 based operating systems on a Mac without rebooting."

VMware Workstation makes it possible to "develop, test, demonstrate, and deploy software by running multiple x86-based Windows, Linux, and other operating systems simultaneously on the same PC."

As detailed in VMware's VMSA-2018-0030 advisory, "VMware Workstation and Fusion contain an integer overflow vulnerability in the virtual network devices. This issue may allow a guest to execute code on the host."
