VMware has issued a warning to immediately patch critical vulnerabilities for multiple products that hackers could use to launch remote code execution attacks. Out of 8 bugs, 5 were rated “critical” for security flaws. Successful exploitation of these weaknesses could result in malicious increase in privileges to root user, have access to hostnames of target systems, and successfully allow full takeover. VMware offers other options for those who cannot patch their applications, but it is still highly recommended to utilize patches in order to remove vulnerabilities.
