Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2011-07-09 20:44:04 UTC 
CVE-2011-1681 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-1681):
  vmware-hgfsmounter in VMware Open Virtual Machine Tools (aka open-vm-tools)
  8.4.2-261024 and earlier attempts to append to the /etc/mtab file without
  first checking whether resource limits would interfere, which allows local
  users to trigger corruption of this file via a process with a small
  RLIMIT_FSIZE value, a related issue to CVE-2011-1089.
