CVE-2019-5516 Information

Description

VMware ESXi (6.7 before ESXi670-201904101-SG and 6.5 before ESXi650-201903001) Workstation (15.x before 15.0.3 and 14.x before 14.1.6) Fusion (11.x before 11.0.3 and 10.x before 10.1.6) updates address an out-of-bounds vulnerability with the vertex shader functionality. Exploitation of this issue requires an attacker to have access to a virtual machine with 3D graphics enabled. Successful exploitation of this issue may lead to information disclosure or may allow attackers with normal user privileges to create a denial-of-service condition on their own VM. The workaround for this issue involves disabling the 3D-acceleration feature. This feature is not enabled by default on ESXi and is enabled by default on Workstation and Fusion.
