It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2009-3281 exists.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Fusion. 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-2009-3281/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-3281/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-3281","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-3281/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-3281","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5x7c-p595-fhwh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware Fusion kernel extension","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local users can gain host OS privileges due to incorrect file permissions in the VMware Fusion kernel extension.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"fusion","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The vmx86 kernel extension in VMware Fusion before 2.0.6 build 196839 does not use correct file permissions, which allows host OS users to gain privileges on the host OS via unspecified vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2009-10-02","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2009-10-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"10076","stars":null,"title":"VMware Fusion 2.0.5 - vmx86 kext Kernel Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3281","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:fusion","products":["vmware:fusion"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3282"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3280"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-10-16","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"VMware Multiple Products Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2020-3950","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-03-17"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Memory corruption in Fusion Pro / Fusion","id":"CVE-2017-4901","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-08"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Use after free in VMware Fusion","id":"CVE-2024-22267","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-14"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in Workstation and Fusion","id":"CVE-2019-5541","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code-execution vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38811","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-03"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in VMware Workstation Pro / Player (Workstation) and VMware Fusion","id":"CVE-2023-20872","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Use after free in Fusion","id":"CVE-2020-3947","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-16"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local users can gain host OS privileges due to incorrect file permissions in the VMware Fusion kernel extension.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-3281/"}
