Multiple VMware products VMware DHCP server integer overflow
| dhcp-param-overflow (33102) |  High Risk |
Description:
VMware Player, Workstation, Server, and ACE are vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow in the built-in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server caused by an integer overflow. By sending a malformed DHCP packet, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.
