VMware ESX, Workstation and Fusion contain a vulnerability in the
handling of control code in lgtosync.sys. A local malicious user may
exploit this vulnerability to manipulate the memory allocation. This
could result in a privilege escalation on 32-bit Guest Operating
Systems running Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server
on ESXi and ESX; or Windows XP on Workstation and Fusion.

The vulnerability does not allow for privilege escalation from the
Guest Operating System to the host. This means that host memory can
not be manipulated from the Guest Operating System. ";
