medium Nessus Plugin ID 124299

Synopsis

A virtualization application installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is affected by an uninitialized stack memory usage vulnerability.

Description

The version of VMware Fusion installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is 10.x prior to 10.1.6 or 11.x prior to 11.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

 - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the vertex shader component of the 3D-acceleration feature could allow an authenticated attacker to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial-of-service of the guest virtual machine. (CVE-2019-5516)

 - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the shader translator component of the 3D-acceleration feature could allow an authenticated attacker to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial-of-service of the guest virtual machine. (CVE-2019-5517)

 - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the 3D-acceleration feature could allow an authenticated attacker to disclose sensitive information.
 (CVE-2019-5520)

Note virtual machines must be configured with the 3D-acceleration enabled. VMware Fusion defaults to this feature being enabled.

Solution

Upgrade to VMware Fusion version 10.1.6, 11.0.3, or later.
