Denial of Service Vulnerability in EMC VMware Player

CVE-2006-3547 · LOW Severity

AV:N/AC:H/AU:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

EMC VMware Player allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (unrecoverable application failure) via a long value of the ide1:0.fileName parameter in the .vmx file of a virtual machine. NOTE: third parties have disputed this issue, saying that write access to the .vmx file enables other ways of stopping the virtual machine, so no privilege boundaries are crossed
