Exploitation of this issue requires an attacker to have access to a virtual machine with 3D graphics enabled. Successful exploitation of this issue may lead to information disclosure or may allow attackers with normal user privileges to create a denial-of-service condition on their own VM. The workaround for this issue involves disabling the 3D-acceleration feature. This feature is not enabled by default on ESXi and is enabled by default on Workstation and Fusion.","published":"2019-04-15T17:29:01.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:37:50.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security@vmware.com","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":6.8,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-125"],"affected":["vmware/fusion","vmware/workstation","vmware/esxi"],"epss":{"score":0.01666,"percentile":0.76584,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.67%).
