It is not enabled by default on ESXi and is enabled by default on Workstation and Fusion. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow attackers with non-administrative access to a virtual machine to crash the virtual machine’s vmx process leading to a denial of service condition.

CVE-2020-3959

VMware ESXi, Workstation and Fusion contain a memory leak vulnerability in the VMCI module. A malicious actor with local non-administrative access to a virtual machine may be able to crash the virtual machine’s vmx process leading to a partial denial of service.
