CVE-2017-4938
Estado: ModificadaMedia (6.5)—
VMware Workstation (en versiones 12.x anteriores a la 12.5.8) y Fusion (en versiones 8.x anteriores a la 8.5.9) contienen una vulnerabilidad de desreferencia de puntero NULL en una llamada de un usuario invitado. Una explotación exitosa de este error puede permitir que atacantes con privilegios de usuario normal cierren de forma inesperada sus máquinas virtuales.
