Message-ID: <47DF24F6.2070607@vmware.com> Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:12:06 -0700 From: VMware Security team <security@...are.com> To: bugtraq@...urityfocus.com, full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk Subject: VMSA-2008-0005 Updated VMware Workstation, VMware Player, VMware Server, VMware ACE, and VMware Fusion resolve critical security issues -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ VMware Security Advisory Advisory ID: VMSA-2008-0005 Synopsis: Updated VMware Workstation, VMware Player, VMware ~ Server, VMware ACE, and VMware Fusion resolve ~ critical security issues Issue date: 2008-03-17 Updated on: 2008-03-17 (initial release of advisory) CVE numbers: CVE-2008-0923 CVE-2008-0923 CVE-2008-1361 ~ CVE-2008-1362 CVE-2007-5269 CVE-2006-2940 ~ CVE-2006-2937 CVE-2006-4343 CVE-2006-4339 ~ CVE-2007-5618 CVE-2008-1364 CVE-2008-1363 ~ CVE-2008-1340 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary: ~ Several critical security vulnerabilities have been addressed ~ in the newest releases of VMware's hosted product line. 2. Relevant releases: ~ VMware Workstation 6.0.2 and earlier ~ VMware Workstation 5.5.4 and earlier ~ VMware Player 2.0.2 and earlier ~ VMware Player 1.0.4 and earlier ~ VMware ACE 2.0.2 and earlier ~ VMware ACE 1.0.2 and earlier ~ VMware Server 1.0.4 and earlier ~ VMware Fusion 1.1 and earlier 3. Problem description: ~ a. Host to guest shared folder (HGFS) traversal vulnerability ~ On Windows hosts, if you have configured a VMware host to guest ~ shared folder (HGFS), it is possible for a program running in the ~ guest to gain access to the host's file system and create or modify ~ executable files in sensitive locations. NOTE: VMware Server is not affected because it doesn't use host to ~ guest shared folders. No versions of ESX Server, including ~ ESX Server 3i, are affected by this vulnerability. Because ~ ESX Server is based on a bare-metal hypervisor architecture ~ and not a hosted architecture, and it doesn't include any ~ shared folder abilities. Fusion and Linux based hosted ~ products are unaffected. ~ VMware would like to thank CORE Security Technologies for ~ working with us on this issue. This addresses advisory ~ CORE-2007-0930. ~ The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) ~ has assigned the name CVE-2008-0923 to this issue. ~ Hosted products ~ --------------- ~ VMware Workstation 6.0 upgrade to version 6.0.3 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware Workstation 5.5 upgrade to version 5.5.6 (Build# 80404) ~ VMware Player 2.0 upgrade to version 2.0.3 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware Player 1.0 upgrade to version 1.0.6 (Build# 80404) ~ VMware ACE 2.0 upgrade to version 2.0.1 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware ACE 1.0 upgrade to version 1.0.5 (Build# 79846) ~ b. Insecure named pipes ~ An internal security audit determined that a malicious Windows ~ user could attain and exploit LocalSystem privileges by causing ~ the authd process to connect to a named pipe that is opened and ~ controlled by the malicious user. ~ The same internal security audit determined that a malicious ~ Windows user could exploit an insecurely created named pipe ~ object to escalate privileges or create a denial of service ~ attack. In this situation, the malicious user could ~ successfully impersonate authd and attain privileges under ~ which Authd is executing. ~ The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) ~ has assigned the names CVE-2008-1361, CVE-2008-1362 to these ~ issues. ~ Windows Hosted products ~ --------------- ~ VMware Workstation 6.0 upgrade to version 6.0.3 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware Workstation 5.5 upgrade to version 5.5.6 (Build# 80404) ~ VMware Player 2.0 upgrade to version 2.0.3 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware Player 1.0 upgrade to version 1.0.6 (Build# 80404) ~ VMware Server 1.0 upgrade to version 1.0.5 (Build# 80187) ~ VMware ACE 2.0 upgrade to version 2.0.1 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware ACE 1.0 upgrade to version 1.0.5 (Build# 79846) ~ c. Updated libpng library to version 1.2.22 to address various ~ security vulnerabilities ~ Several flaws were discovered in the way libpng handled various PNG ~ image chunks. An attacker could create a carefully crafted PNG ~ image file in such a way that it could cause an application linked ~ with libpng to crash when the file was manipulated. ~ The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) ~ has assigned the name CVE-2007-5269 to this issue. ~ Hosted products ~ --------------- ~ VMware Workstation 6.0 upgrade to version 6.0.3 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware Workstation 5.5 upgrade to version 5.5.6 (Build# 80404) ~ VMware Player 2.0 upgrade to version 2.0.3 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware Player 1.0 upgrade to version 1.0.6 (Build# 80404) ~ VMware Server 1.0 upgrade to version 1.0.5 (Build# 80187) ~ VMware ACE 2.0 upgrade to version 2.0.1 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware ACE 1.0 upgrade to version 1.0.5 (Build# 79846) ~ NOTE: Fusion is not affected by this issue. ~ d. Updated OpenSSL library to address various security vulnerabilities ~ Updated OpenSSL fixes several security flaws were discovered ~ in previous versions of OpenSSL. ~ The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) ~ assigned the following names to these issues: CVE-2006-2940, ~ CVE-2006-2937, CVE-2006-4343, CVE-2006-4339. ~ Hosted products ~ --------------- ~ VMware Workstation 6.0 upgrade to version 6.0.3 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware Workstation 5.5 upgrade to version 5.5.6 (Build# 80404) ~ VMware Player 2.0 upgrade to version 2.0.3 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware Player 1.0 upgrade to version 1.0.6 (Build# 80404) ~ VMware Server 1.0 upgrade to version 1.0.5 (Build# 80187) ~ VMware ACE 2.0 upgrade to version 2.0.1 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware ACE 1.0 upgrade to version 1.0.5 (Build# 79846) ~ NOTE: Fusion is not affected by this issue. ~ e. VIX API default setting changed to a more secure default value ~ Workstation 6.0.2 allowed anonymous console access to the guest by ~ means of the VIX API. This release, Workstation 6.0.3, disables ~ this feature. This means that the Eclipse Integrated Virtual ~ Debugger and the Visual Studio Integrated Virtual Debugger will now ~ prompt for user account credentials to access a guest. ~ Hosted products ~ --------------- ~ VMware Workstation 6.0 upgrade to version 6.0.3 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware Player 2.0 upgrade to version 2.0.3 (Build# 80004) ~ VMware ACE 2.0 upgrade to version 2.0.1 (Build# 80004) ~ f. Windows 2000 based hosted products privilege escalation ~ vulnerability ~ This release addresses a potential privilege escalation on ~ Windows 2000 hosted products.
