The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A local user with privileges within the VMX process can trigger an out-of-bounds write and escape sandbox restrictions.

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the storage controllers functionality. An attacker with access to a virtual machine with storage controllers enabled can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the hypervisor from a virtual machine.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-37086)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a malicious user on the guest OS to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition. An attacker with access to the guest OS can trigger an out-of-bounds read and crash the host OS.
