VMware Workstation SVGA Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of VMware Workstation. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target in a guest system must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the SVGA virtual device. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the hypervisor.
