The VMware vCenter Server contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the implementation of the DCERPC protocol. A malicious actor with network access to vCenter Server may trigger an out-of-bounds read by sending a specially crafted packet leading to denial-of-service of certain services (vmcad, vmdird, and vmafdd).

Uncovering weaknesses in Apple macOS and VMWare vCenter: 12 vulnerabilities in RPC implementation
- Cisco Talos discovered 12 memory corruption vulnerabilities in MSRPC implementations on Apple macOS and VMWare vCenter.
- Seven vulnerabilities affect Apple macOS only.
- Two vulnerabilities affect VMWare vCenter.
- Three vulnerabilities affect both.
- For more on these individual vulnerabilities, read Talos’ advisories on the issues here.
- MSRPC implementations on macOS and vCenter are based on the same DCERPC codebase, forked at different times and modified to suit different use cases
- Uncovered issues fall into use-after-free, buffer-overflow, information leak and denial-of-service vulnerability classes. Some of these could be combined to achieve remote code execution or privilege escalation.
- Apple has addressed all of the vulnerabilities on three separate occasions in their sched
