Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 201209-25 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in VMware Player, Server, and Workstation, allowing remote and local attackers to conduct several attacks, including privilege escalation, remote execution of arbitrary code, and a Denial of Service.
69658d66093686eada54ad82e7c69c212f082445ebab3cf082f1e1fbc3b98de1A vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of multiple VMWare products. User interaction is required in that a user must visit a malicious web page or open a malicious video file. Upon installation VMWare Workstation, Server, Player, and ACE register vmnc.dll as a video codec driver to handle compression and decompression of the fourCC type 'VMnc'. This format is used primarily by Workstation to capture remote framebuffer recordings of sessions within a virtual machine. The resulting video is stored within an AVI container file. While playing back such files the function responsible for handling ICM_DECOMPRESS driver messages implicitly trusts a size value while decompressing a frame. Specifically, the dwSize element within an Open-DML standard index RIFF chunk is used as an argument to a memcpy into a static heap buffer. This can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on the host system under the context of the current user.
