Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions VMWare Workstation version 6.0

Description The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to a host operating system crash, and possibly gain privileges. This is achieved by sending a small file buffer size value to the FsSetVolumeInformation IOCTL handler with an FsSetFileInformation subcode, exploiting the vstor-ws60.sys driver.

Recommendations For VMWare Workstation version 6.0, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue, as using a small file buffer size value with the FsSetVolumeInformation IOCTL handler can lead to a denial of service and potential privilege escalation.
