| Package | Affected versions | Patched versions |
|---|---|---|
| fusion | ≥ 11.0.0, < 11.5.2 | 11.5.2 |
| workstation | ≥ 15.0.0, < 15.5.2 | 15.5.2 |
Linux Guest VMs running on VMware Workstation (15.x before 15.5.2) and Fusion (11.x before 11.5.2) contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability due to improper file permissions in Cortado Thinprint. Local attackers with non-administrative access to a Linux guest VM with virtual printing enabled may exploit this issue to elevate their privileges to root on the same guest VM.
