VMware Workstation (12.x before 12.5.8) and Fusion (8.x before 8.5.9) contain a heap buffer-overflow vulnerability in VMNAT device. This issue may allow a guest to execute code on the host.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
