Problem Description

a. VMware VMCI privilege escalation

VMware ESX, Workstation, Fusion, and View contain a vulnerability in the
handling of control code in vmci.sys. A local malicious user may exploit this
vulnerability to manipulate the memory allocation through the Virtual Machine
Communication Interface (VMCI) code. This could result in a privilege escalation
on Windows-based hosts and on Windows-based Guest Operating Systems.

The vulnerability does not allow for privilege escalation from the Guest
Operating System to the host (and vice versa). This means that host memory can
not be manipulated from the Guest Operating System (and vice versa).

Systems that have VMCI disabled are also affected by this issue.

Solution
Apply the missing patch(es).";
