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-2012-2450 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-2012-2450/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2450/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-2450","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2450/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-2450","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pr45-2j7r-cvjx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware virtualization software","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Guest OS administrators can crash the host VMX process or execute arbitrary code on the host via improper SCSI device registration.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"esx","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"esxi","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"fusion","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"player","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workstation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":9,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"VMware Workstation 8.x before 8.0.3, VMware Player 4.x before 4.0.3, VMware Fusion 4.x before 4.1.2, VMware ESXi 3.5 through 5.0, and VMware ESX 3.5 through 4.1 do not properly register SCSI devices, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (invalid write operation and VMX process crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host OS by leveraging administrative privileges on the guest OS.","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-2012-2450","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:esx","products":["vmware:esx","vmware:esxi","vmware:fusion","vmware:player","vmware:workstation"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2451"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2449"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-05-04","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1405","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-02-15"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1516","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-04"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3658","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-09-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3288","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-06-14"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4281","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-10"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-04"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2449","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-04"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Guest OS administrators can crash the host VMX process or execute arbitrary code on the host via improper SCSI device registration.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2450/"}
