Vulnerability title: Invalid Pointer Dereference in VMware Workstation and Player CVE: CVE-2014-2384 Vendor: VMware Product: Workstation, Player Affected version: VMware WorkStation v10.0.1 build-1379776 and VMware Player v6.0.1 build-1379776 Fixed version: N/A Reported by: Kyriakos Economou Details: The vmx86.sys (32 & 64-bit) kernel mode driver shared by various VMware Windows products such as VMware Workstation and VMWare Player, allows a local attacker to kill the host system through a Blue Screen of Death by sending a specific IOCTL code with a 3 bytes, or larger, input buffer. The Blue Screen is triggered because the vulnerable function doesnt check if a pointer to a memory page is valid or not, thus causing a memory access violation by trying to read from an unallocated memory page.
