3. Problem Description
a. VMware Host Checkpoint file memory corruption
Input data is not properly validated when loading Checkpoint files.
This may allow an attacker with the ability to load a specially
crafted Checkpoint file to execute arbitrary code on the host.
Workaround
- None identified
Mitigation
- Do not import virtual machines from untrusted sources.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2012-3288 to this issue.
Column 4 of the following table lists the action required to
remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is
available.

b. VMware Virtual Machine Remote Device Denial of Service
A device (e.g. CD-ROM, keyboard) that is available to a virtual
machine while physically connected to a system that does not run the
virtual machine is referred to as a remote device.
Traffic coming from remote virtual devices is incorrectly handled.
This may allow an attacker who is capable of manipulating the
traffic from a remote virtual device to crash the virtual machine.
Workaround
- None identified
Mitigation
- Users need administrative privileges on the virtual machine
in order to attach remote devices.
- Do not attach untrusted remote devices to a virtual machine.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2012-3289 to this issue.
