Rewterz Threat Advisory – Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in VMware

Severity

High

Analysis Summary

CVE-2020-3962 (Use-after-free vulnerability)

A malicious actor with local access to a virtual machine with 3D graphics enabled may be able to exploit this vulnerability to execute code on the hypervisor from a virtual machine.

CVE-2020-3969 (Off-by-one heap-overflow vulnerability)

A malicious actor with local access to a virtual machine with 3D graphics enabled may be able to exploit this vulnerability to execute code on the hypervisor from a virtual machine. Additional conditions beyond the attacker’s control must be present for exploitation to be possible.

CVE-2020-3970 (Out-of-bound read)

A malicious actor with non-administrative local access to a virtual machine with 3D graphics enabled may be able to exploit this vulnerability to crash the virtual machine’s vmx process leading to a partial denial of service condition.

CVE-2020-3967 (Heap-overflow vulnerability )

A malicious actor with local access to a virtual machine may be able to exploit this vulnerability to execute code on the hypervisor from a virtual machine. Additional conditions beyond the attacker’s control must be present for exploitation to be possible.

CVE-2020-3968 (Out-of-bounds write vulnerability)

A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine may be able to exploit this issue to crash the virtual machine’s vmx process leading to a denial of service condition or execute code on the hypervisor from a virtual machine. Additional conditions beyond the attacker’s control must be present for exploitation to be possible.

CVE-2020-3966 (Heap-overflow due to race condition)

A malicious actor with local access to a virtual machine may be able to exploit this vulnerability to execute code on the hypervisor from a virtual machine. Additional conditions beyond the attacker’s control must be present for exploitation to be possible.

CVE-2020-3965 (Information leak)

A malicious actor with local access to a virtual machine may be able to read privileged information contained in hypervisor memory from a virtual machine.

CVE-2020-3964 (Information Leak)

A malicious actor with local access to a virtual machine may be able to read privileged information contained in the hypervisor’s memory. Additional conditions beyond the attacker’s control need to be present for exploitation to be possible.

 CVE-2020-3963 (Use-after-free vulnerability)

A malicious actor with local access to a virtual machine may be able to read privileged information contained in physical memory.

CVE-2020-3971 (Heap overflow vulnerability)

A malicious actor with local access to a virtual machine with a vmxnet3 network adapter present may be able to read privileged information contained in physical memory.
