VMware Workstation (15.x before 15.0.3, 14.x before 14.1.6) and Fusion (11.x before 11.0.3, 10.x before 10.1.6) updates address an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the e1000 and e1000e virtual network adapters.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.16%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
