VMware Fusion 13.0.x < 13.0.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities (VMSA-2023-0008)

high Nessus Plugin ID 174757

Synopsis

A virtualization application installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of VMware Fusion installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is 13.0.x prior to 13.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

- VMware Workstation (17.x) and VMware Fusion (13.x) contain a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability that exists in the functionality for sharing host Bluetooth devices with the virtual machine.
(CVE-2023-20869)

- VMware Workstation and Fusion contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that exists in the functionality for sharing host Bluetooth devices with the virtual machine. (CVE-2023-20870)

- VMware Fusion contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious actor with read/write access to the host operating system can elevate privileges to gain root access to the host operating system. (CVE-2023-20871)

- VMware Workstation and Fusion contain an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability in SCSI CD/DVD device emulation. (CVE-2023-20872)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update to VMware Fusion version 13.0.2, or later.
