CVE-2006-3547
Last modified
CVE-2006-3547 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. EMC VMware Player allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (unrecoverable application failure) via a long value of the ide1:0.fileName parameter in the .vmx file of a virtual machine. NOTE: third parties have disputed this issue, saying that write access to the .vmx file enables other ways of stopping the virtual machine, so no privilege boundaries are crossed. EPSS estimates a 0.87% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
