The host is installed with VMware Workstation 15.x before 15.5.5 or VMware Player 15.x before 15.5.5 and is prone to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to properly handle XHCI controller. Successful exploitation may allow attackers with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine to crash the virtual machine's vmx process leading to a denial of service or execute code on the hypervisor from a virtual machine.
