An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2009-0909 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Player. 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-2009-0909/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-0909/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-0909","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-0909/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-0909","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pwwh-5hg7-cxj9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware virtualization software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via crafted web pages or video files exploiting a heap overflow in the VNnc Codec.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ace","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"player","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"server","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workstation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Heap-based buffer overflow in the VNnc Codec in VMware Workstation 6.5.x before 6.5.2 build 156735, VMware Player 2.5.x before 2.5.2 build 156735, VMware ACE 2.5.x before 2.5.2 build 156735, and VMware Server 2.0.x before 2.0.1 build 156745 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web page or video file, aka ZDI-CAN-435.","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-2009-0909","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:player","products":["vmware:player","vmware:server","vmware:workstation"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0910"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0908"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-04-06","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":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via crafted web pages or video files exploiting a heap overflow in the VNnc Codec.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-0909/"}
