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-2010-4294 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-2010-4294/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4294/index.md)","id":"CVE-2010-4294","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4294/index.md","name":"CVE-2010-4294","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2q9v-9rr4-w95c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware media codec","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via a crafted video file exploiting heap memory corruption in VMware media codecs.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"movie_decoder","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-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"The frame decompression functionality in the VMnc media codec in VMware Movie Decoder before 6.5.5 build 328052 and 7.x before 7.1.2 build 301548, VMware Workstation 6.5.x before 6.5.5 build 328052 and 7.x before 7.1.2 build 301548 on Windows, VMware Player 2.5.x before 2.5.5 build 246459 and 3.x before 3.1.2 build 301548 on Windows, and VMware Server 2.x on Windows does not properly validate an unspecified size field, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via a crafted video file.","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-2010-4294","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:player","products":["vmware:player","vmware:server","vmware:workstation"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2010"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4295"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2010-4293"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2010-12-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1564","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-04-12"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1565","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-04-12"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4897","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-10-05"}],"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 or cause denial of service via a crafted video file exploiting heap memory corruption in VMware media codecs.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4294/"}
