"... VMware vulnerability*... full scape from the guest virtual machine to the host is possible: "On Windows hosts, if you have configured a VMware host-to-guest shared folder, it is possible for a program running in the guest to gain access to the host's complete file system and create or modify executable files in sensitive locations." It has been rated as critical by VMware and it affects all VMware client products on Windows, that is:
- VMware Workstation 6.0.2 and earlier, AND 5.5.4 and earlier
- VMware Player 2.0.2 and earlier, AND 1.0.4 and earlier

"UPDATE... Although the VMware alert mentions VMware Workstation 5.5.4 (or earlier), ACE 1.0.2 (or earlier) and Player 1.0.4 (or earlier), the latest versions available are VMware Workstation 5.5.5, ACE 1.0.4 and Player 1.0.5. We have confirmed with VMware that -all- versions of Workstation, ACE and Player are affected. They will release a fix ASAP."
