+ Tim Shelton discovered that vmnet-natd, the host module providing + NAT-style networking for VMware guest operating systems, is unable to + process incorrect 'EPRT' and 'PORT' FTP requests. +

+
+ +

+ Malicious guest operating systems using the NAT networking feature or + local VMware Workstation users could exploit this vulnerability to + execute arbitrary code on the host system with elevated privileges. +

+
+ +

+ Disable the NAT service by following the instructions at http://www.vmware.com/support/k + b, Answer ID 2002. +
