By exploiting the VMware flaw described in this document, user-mode code executing in a virtual machine may gain kernel privileges within the virtual machine, dependent upon the guest operating system. The flaw has been proven exploitable on x64 versions of Windows, and it has produced potentially exploitable crashes on x64 versions of *BSD. The Linux kernel does not allow exploitation of the flaws on x64 versions of Linux.
