It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2007-5671 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Esx. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5671/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5671/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-5671","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5671/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-5671","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rcvp-7793-9q23"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware Tools driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local guest user can exploit improper IOCTL validation in HGFS.sys to modify kernel memory and escalate privileges within the guest OS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ace","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"esx","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"esx_server","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"player","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"server","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vmware_player","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vmware_server","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vmware_workstation","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workstation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":4.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"HGFS.sys in the VMware Tools package in VMware Workstation 5.x before 5.5.6 build 80404, VMware Player before 1.0.6 build 80404, VMware ACE before 1.0.5 build 79846, VMware Server before 1.0.5 build 80187, and VMware ESX 2.5.4 through 3.0.2 does not properly validate arguments in user-mode METHOD_NEITHER IOCTLs to the \\\\.\\hgfs device, which allows guest OS users to modify arbitrary memory locations in guest kernel memory and gain privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5671","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:esx","products":["vmware:esx","vmware:player","vmware:server","vmware:workstation"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2007"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":12,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5673"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5667"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-06-05","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3732","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-04-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3691","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3692","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3693","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3694","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3695","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3696","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-03"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A local guest user can exploit improper IOCTL validation in HGFS.sys to modify kernel memory and escalate privileges within the guest OS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5671/"}
