Changelog

    What's New:

    This release of VMware Workstation Player is a free upgrade for all VMware Workstation 15 Player users. This release contains bug fixes and security updates.

    Important Fixes:

    VMware Workstation Player contains elevation of privilege vulnerabilities:
    Workstation Player does not handle paths appropriately. This may allow the path to the VMX executable, on a Windows host, to be hijacked by a non-administrator leading to elevation of privilege. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the identifier CVE-2019-5511 to this issue. See VMSA-2019-0002 for further information.
    COM classes are not handled appropriately. This may allow hijacking of COM classes used by the VMX process, on a Windows host, leading to elevation of privilege. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the identifier CVE-2019-5512 to this issue. See VMSA-2019-0002 for further information.
    Updated OpenSSL library version to 1.0.2q.
    Updated libxml2 library version to 2.9.9.

Prior Releases

Features and Known Issues from prior releases of VMware Workstation 16 Player are described in the release notes for each release. To view the release notes for a prior release, click the appropriate link:

VMware Workstation 17.0 Player

VMware Workstation 16.2.5 Player

Resolved Issues

Unable to connect USB devices to a virtual machine

After you create a virtual machine, you cannot connect a USB device to the virtual machine. The issue occurs because the default value of the usb.restrictions.defaultAllow option is configured to FALSE in the VMX configuration file when the virtual machine is created.

This issue is resolved.

A host machine with Intel HD 4600 GPU might crash when you use a 3D-enabled virtual machine

When you power on a 3D-enabled virtual machine on a host with Intel HD 4600 GPU, the host machine might crash.

This issue is resolved.

Known Issues

On a Windows 11 host machine, you cannot ping the IPv6 address successfully from a Windows 11 guest machine with the Wireless Bridge mode enabled

When a virtual machine is connected through the Wireless Bridge mode, any IPv6 address outside the host machine is unreachable. The IPv6 address is reachable when connected through Wired mode. In Wireless mode, you can only ping the host IPv6 address successfully.

Workaround:

When you use Wireless Bridge mode, manually set the NDP neighbor address at both ends using NetShell.

For example, netsh interface ipv6 set neighbors “Interface-name” <IPV6 Address> <MAC address>

Use the Wired mode for IPv6 or enable the IPv6 support in NAT mode.

This issue is resolved.

When you change the secure boot setting in a virtual machine, the Virtualization engine settings change

In the Virtual Machine Settings, when you enable or disable secure boot, the following settings under the Virtualization engine change:

Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI

Virtualize IOMMU (IO memory management unit)

This issue is resolved.

After you upgrade Workstation Pro, if you change the hardware compatibility of the virtual machine, Workstation Pro crashes

After you upgrade Workstation Pro to version 17.0 and change the hardware compatibility of an existing virtual machine to the latest version, Workstation Pro crashes when you try to edit the virtual machine settings.

This issue is resolved.
