Kostya Kortchinsky of Immunity Inc. just discovered how a small script running on a host OS on VMWare (which is a virtualization software that lets you run multiple OS on a single  machine) can sneak into your Mac OS X if you’re running one and get read/write rights on OS X! Ksotya demonstrated that since Windows XP or Vista was vulnerable to that erroneous script that could do havoc to your system can so easily get into other host OS through VMWare Fusion.

Darrell Etherington of the Apple Blog criticized Microsoft (what else would be expect from them? 😀 ) blasting them responsible for the vulnerability and not realizing that its the VMWare which should be held responsible and not Microsoft!

Anyways, the good news is that VMWare has responded with releasing an update to VMWare Fusion which is available for free for current users of VMWare Fusion.

The update version 2.0.4 can be downloaded from here
