(VMware Workstation: Untrusted library search path)


    Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has
    discovered that VMware Workstation searches for gdk-pixbuf loadable
    modules in an untrusted, world-writable directory.
  
Impact

    A local attacker could create a malicious shared object that would
    be loaded by VMware, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
    the privileges of the user running VMware.
  
Workaround

    The system administrator may create the file /tmp/rrdharan to
    prevent malicious users from creating a directory at that location:
    # touch /tmp/rrdharan
  

Solution: 
    All VMware Workstation users should upgrade to the latest version:
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r5"
  

Risk factor : Medium
