Multiple Vulnerabilities in VMware Aria Operations and VMware Tools Could Allow for Privilege Escalation

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in VMware Aria Operations and VMware Tools, the most severe of which could allow for privilege escalation to root. VMware Aria is a multi-cloud management platform that provides automation, operations, and cost management for applications and infrastructure across private, public, and hybrid cloud environments. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for privilege escalation to root. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
