VMware reveals flaws in Workstation and Fusion Pro products after offering them for free for personal use

VMware has issued a security alert for critical vulnerabilities in its Workstation and Fusion hypervisor products, urging customers to patch their systems immediately. The vulnerabilities, including a use-after-free bug in Bluetooth, heap buffer overflow affecting shader functionality, and information disclosure flaws, could allow attackers to execute code, cause denial of service, or access sensitive information. These issues come after VMware made Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro free for personal use, a move aimed at simplifying their product offerings and ensuring support for both free and paid users. The company’s acquisition by Broadcom has led to controversy over changes in licensing and product structure.
