Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in multiple VMWare products, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused by a boundary error in vmnc.dll when processing HexTile encoded video chunks and can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted AVI file.
