VMware Issues Critical Patches for Security Vulnerabilities.

VMware has released updates to fix multiple security flaws in its Workstation and Fusion software, including a critical stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability that could allow a local attacker to execute code. The company has also resolved an out-of-bounds read vulnerability, a local privilege escalation flaw, and an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability. The flaws have been addressed in Workstation version 17.0.2 and Fusion version 13.0.2. VMware is suggesting that users turn off Bluetooth support on the virtual machine as a temporary workaround for some of the vulnerabilities.
