Purpose

The VMware Security Engineering, Communications, and Response group (vSECR) has investigated the impact CVE-2018-3665 may have on VMware products.

Resolution

Evaluation Summary:

CVE-2018-3665 has been classified as a potential local privilege escalation in the Moderate severity range. Review our VMware Security Response Policies for information on severity classifications.

CVE-2018-3665 has the potential of affecting VMware Virtual Appliances by way of the linux-based operating system that they ship on top of if the underlying hypervisor is running on processor architecture older than Sandy Bridge (2011). If the underlying hypervisor is runs on Sandy Bridge (2011) or newer Intel processors the VMware virtual appliance is not affected in default configuration.

Products that ship as an installable windows or linux binary are not directly affected, but patches may be required from the respective operating system vendor that these products are installed on.

VMware hypervisors are not affected by this issue.

Unaffected Products
vSECR has completed evaluation of the following products and determined that under supported configurations they are not affected as there is no available path to execute arbitrary code without administrative privileges.

Note: Automated vulnerability scanners may report that these products are vulnerable to CVE-2018-3665 even though the issue is not exploitable. These products will still be updating their respective kernels in scheduled maintenance releases as a precautionary measure.
