1. Summary
VMware Workstation and Player address a potential installer security
issue and security issues in libpng. VMware ACE Management Server
(AMS) for Windows updates Apache httpd.
2. Relevant releases
VMware Workstation 7.1.1 and earlier,
VMware Workstation 6.5.4 and earlier,
VMware Player 3.1.1 and earlier,
VMware Player 2.5.4 and earlier,
VMware ACE Management Server 2.7.1 and earlier,
Note: VMware Server was declared End Of Availability on January 2010,
support will be limited to Technical Guidance for the duration
of the support term.
3. Problem Description
a. VMware Workstation and Player installer security issue
The Workstation 7.x and Player 3.x installers will load an index.htm
file located in the current working directory on which Workstation
7.x or Player 3.x is being installed. This may allow an attacker to
display a malicious file if they manage to get their file onto the
system prior to installation.
The issue can only be exploited at the time that Workstation 7.x or
Player 3.x is being installed. Installed versions of Workstation and
Player are not affected. The security issue is no longer present in
the installer of the new versions of Workstation 7.x and Player 3.x
(see table below for the version numbers).
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2010-3277 to this issue.
VMware would like to thank Alexander Trofimov and Marc Esher for
independently reporting this issue to VMware.
The following table lists what action remediates the vulnerability
(column 4) if a solution is available.
VMware Product Running Replace with/
Product Version on Apply Patch
============= ======== ======= =================
VirtualCenter any Windows not affected
Workstation 7.x any 7.1.2 build 301548 or later *
Workstation 6.5.x any not affected
Player 3.x any 3.1.2 build 301548 or later *
Player 2.5.x any not affected
AMS any any not affected
Server any any not affected
Fusion any Mac OS/X not affected
ESXi any ESXi not affected
ESX any ESX not affected
* Note: This only affects the installer, if you have a version of
Workstation or Player installed you are not vulnerable.
b. Third party libpng updated to version 1.2.44
A buffer overflow condition in libpng is addressed that could
potentially lead to code execution with the privileges of the
application using libpng. Two potential denial of service issues
are also addressed in the update.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the names CVE-2010-1205, CVE-2010-0205, CVE-2010-2249
to these issues.
The following table lists what action remediates the vulnerability
(column 4) if a solution is available.
VMware Product Running Replace with/
Product Version on Apply Patch
============= ======== ======= =================
VirtualCenter any Windows not affected
Workstation 7.1.x any 7.1.2 build 301548 or later
Workstation 6.5.x any 6.5.5 Build 328052 or later
Player 3.1.x any 3.1.2 build 301548 or later
Player 2.5.x any 2.5.5 Build 328052 or later
AMS any any not affected
Server any any affected, no patch planned
Fusion any Mac OS/X not affected
ESXi any ESXi not affected
ESX any ESX not affected
c. VMware ACE Management Server (AMS) for Windows updates Apache httpd
version 2.2.15.
A function in Apache HTTP Server when multithreaded MPM is used
does not properly handle headers in subrequests in certain
circumstances which may allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive
information via a crafted request that triggers access to memory
locations associated with an earlier request.
The Apache mod_isapi module can be forced to unload a specific
library before the processing of a request is complete, resulting
in memory corruption. This vulnerability may allow a remote
attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the names CVE-2010-0434 and CVE-2010-0425 to the
issues addressed in this update.
Column 4 of the following table lists the action required to
remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is
available.
VMware Product Running Replace with/
Product Version on Apply Patch
============= ======== ======= =================
VirtualCenter any Windows not affected
Workstation any any not affected
Player any any not affected
AMS any Windows 2.7.2 build 301548 or later
AMS any Linux affected, patch pending *
Server any any not affected
Fusion any Mac OS/X not affected
ESXi any ESXi not affected
ESX any ESX not affected
* Note CVE-2010-0425 is not applicable to AMS running on Linux
