Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as an untrusted pointer dereference (CWE-822) within the AMD ionic cloud driver for VMware ESXi. An attacker with low-privileged access to a guest virtual machine can trigger the driver to dereference a pointer that is not properly validated. This allows for unauthorized read access to host kernel memory or the memory space of co-located guest VMs. Successful exploitation could result in a complete loss of confidentiality for sensitive memory data and a high impact on system availability. The attack requires local access to a guest VM but does not require user interaction.
