It is with great pride and pleasure that we announce the public availability of VMware Fusion for Apple Silicon Public Tech Preview!
This video shows you the steps to install Microsoft Windows 10 using VMware Fusion 10/11 Pro virtualization program on macOS High Sierra operating system. For Windows VMs Fusion now supports DirectX 11 (with Shader Model 5.0) and earlier. For Windows and Linux guests Fusion provides OpenGL 4.1 capabilities. Fusion uses Apple Metal graphics technology to render 3D hardware-accelerated graphics to virtual machines on compatible Mac systems. 12.5.4 Pro: 14 March 2017 This release addresses an out-of-bounds memory access vulnerability related to the drag-and-drop feature. This vulnerability might allow a guest to execute code on the operating system that runs VMware Workstation 12 Pro. 12.5.5 Pro: 28 March 2017 This release of VMware Workstation Pro addresses the following issues.
With more than a year in development, and a few weeks of a successful Private Tech Preview, it's finally time for us to show the world what we've been working on.

To deliver Fusion for Apple Silicon devices we've had to re-evaluate every part of the Fusion technology stack. The scope and scale of this undertaking should not be understated, and the success of this project has been the result of a massive ongoing collaboration from many internal teams working together, entirely remotely as we do in this day in age.

We're going to be keeping the Public Tech Preview active for at least the rest of this year and likely into spring, and so we won't be pulling in these changes into our fall release, which means Fusion on Apple silicon is effectively FREE for all users for the time being.
Fusion and Workstation Fall Release Update
We also wanted to take the opportunity, since we're so close to VMworld which has a bit of a different schedule this year, is to let folks know that we won't be releasing a 'paid upgrade' for either Fusion or Workstation this year as we often have. Instead we will continue to invest in the current shipping versions, and will extend their support periods until December 2022, with new updates starting in October.
Thanks!

Vmware Fusion Pro 11 5 1400
This release of VMware Fusion addresses the following issues:
VMware Fusion contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the XHCI USB controller. A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine may exploit this issue to execute code as the virtual machine's VMX process running on the host. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the identifier CVE-2020-4004 to this issue. See VMSA-2020-0026 for more information.
VMware Fusion contains a privilege escalation vulnerability due to the way it allows configuring the system wide path. An attacker with normal user privileges may exploit this issue to trick an admin user into executing malicious code on the system where VMware Fusion is installed. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the identifier CVE-2020-3980 to this issue. See VMSA-2020-0020.1 for more information.
The entitlements related security improvements have been implemented as suggested by Csaba Fitzl (@theevilbit).
