The VMware movie decoder contains the VMnc media codec that is required to play back movies recorded with VMware Workstation, VMware Player and VMware ACE, in any compatible media player. The movie decoder is installed as part of VMware Workstation, VMware Player and VMware ACE, or can be downloaded as a stand alone package.
Several vulnerabilities in the VMnc codec can be exploited to cause heap-based buffer overflows via specially crafted video files containing incorrect framebuffer parameters.
Vulnerable Systems:
* VMware Workstation Movie Decoder version 6.5.2 and prior
* VMware Workstation version 6.5.2 and prior
* VMware Player version 2.5.2 and prior

Immune Systems:
