CVE-2006-3547

Published Jul 13, 2006 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
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
