Broadcom VMware Aria Operations formerly known as vRealize Operations (vROps) contains a command injection vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to remote code execution during support‑assisted product migration.

A flaw was found in open-vm-tools.

VMware Tools for Windows contains an authentication bypass vulnerability due to improper access control. A malicious actor with non-administrative privileges on a guest VM may gain ability to perform certain high privilege operations within that VM.

VMware ESXi contains an arbitrary write vulnerability. A malicious actor with privileges within the VMX process may trigger an arbitrary kernel write leading to an escape of the sandbox.

VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion contain an information disclosure vulnerability due to an out-of-bounds read in HGFS. A malicious actor with administrative privileges to a virtual machine may be able to exploit this issue to leak memory from the vmx process.

VMware ESXi contains an authentication bypass vulnerability. A malicious actor with sufficient Active Directory (AD) permissions can gain full access to an ESXi host that was previously configured to use AD for user management https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/09/joining-vsphere-hosts-to-active-directory.html by re-creating the configured AD group ('ESXi Admins' by default) after it was deleted from AD.

Memory corruption in DSP Services during a remote call from HLOS to DSP.

Memory corruption while submitting a large list of sync points in an AUX command to the IOCTLKGSLGPUAUXCOMMAND.

Memory corruption in Graphics Linux while assigning shared virtual memory region during IOCTL call.

The Service Location Protocol (SLP, RFC 2608) allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to register arbitrary services. This could allow the attacker to use spoofed UDP traffic to conduct a denial-of-service attack with a significant amplification factor.

VMware Workspace ONE Access, Identity Manager and vRealize Automation contain a privilege escalation vulnerability due to improper permissions in support scripts.

Omnissa Workspace One UEM formerly known as VMware Workspace One UEM contains a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that could allow a malicious actor with network access to UEM to send their requests without authentication and to gain access to sensitive information.

Server Side Request Forgery in vRealize Operations Manager API (CVE-2021-21975) prior to 8.4 may allow a malicious actor with network access to the vRealize Operations Manager API can perform a Server Side Request Forgery attack to steal administrative credentials.

A flaw was found in spring-cloud-config in versions prior to 2.1.9 and 2.2.3. Applications are allowed to serve arbitrary configuration files through the spring-cloud-config-server module allowing an attacker to send a request using a specially crafted URL to create a directory traversal attack. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

VMware Fusion (11.x before 11.5.2), VMware Remote Console for Mac (11.x and prior before 11.0.1) and Horizon Client for Mac (5.x and prior before 5.4.0) contain a privilege escalation vulnerability due to improper use of setuid binaries. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow attackers with normal user privileges to escalate their privileges to root on the system where Fusion, VMRC or Horizon Client is installed.

VMware NSX SD-WAN Edge by VeloCloud prior to version 3.1.0 contains a command injection vulnerability in the local web UI component. This component is disabled by default and should not be enabled on untrusted networks. VeloCloud by VMware will be removing this service from the product in future releases. Successful exploitation of this issue could result in remote code execution.

Description of problem: The handling functions for sending and receiving messages, in rdspagecopyuser(), use the unchecked copyuserinatomic functions without any access checks on user-provided pointers. As a result, by passing a kernel address as an iovec base address in recvmsg-style calls, a local user can overwrite arbitrary kernel memory, which can easily be used to escalate privileges to root.

Introduced via 7875e18e (v2.6.30-rc1).
