Successful exploitation of this issue could result in remote code execution in a virtual machine via the authenticated VNC session. Note: In order for exploitation to be possible in ESXi, VNC must be manually enabled in a virtual machine's .vmx configuration file. In addition, ESXi must be configured to allow VNC traffic through the built-in firewall." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "Heap overflow via authenticated VNC session" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2017-0021.html", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2017-0021.html" }, { "name": "1040025", "refsource": "SECTRACK", "url": "http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1040025" }, { "name": "1040024", "refsource": "SECTRACK", "url": "http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1040024" } ] } }
