Description
An integer overflow exists in the VMXNET3 virtual network adapter. A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a guest virtual machine can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code on the host operating system, potentially leading to a guest-to-host escape. The flaw is located in the TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) processing path within the host's
vmware-vmx process. TSO is a technique used to split large network packets into smaller segments to reduce CPU overhead.Recommendations
Update VMware Workstation to version 26H1u1.
Update VMware Fusion to version 26H1u1.
