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-2018-6983 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2018-6983/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6983/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-6983","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6983/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-6983","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5jx3-fq8r-vrrm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware virtualization software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An integer overflow in virtual network devices allows a guest to execute arbitrary code on the host system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"fusion","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workstation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-190","name":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound"}],"description":"VMware Workstation (15.x before 15.0.2 and 14.x before 14.1.5) and Fusion (11.x before 11.0.2 and 10.x before 10.1.5) contain an integer overflow vulnerability in the virtual network devices.
