Important Fixes
This release of VMware Fusion addresses the following issues:
- Fusion addresses a privilege escalation vulnerability due to the way it allows configuring the system wide path. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the identifier CVE-2020-3980 to this issue. For more information, see VMSA-2020-0020.
Resolved Issues
- USB devices are not recognized after the Mac wakes up from sleep modeA USB device connected to guest OS is not recognized after the Mac woken up from sleep mode.This issue is now resolved.
- Unable to use a 2 TB USB drive in the guest OS after upgrading to Fusion 11.5.52 TB USB drives are not recognized in guest OS.This issue is now resolved.
- Unable to use the USB devices in macOS Mojave guest operating systems.Unable to connect USB devices to macOS Mojave guest operating systems as they are not recognized.This issue is now resolved.
- User data in an anonymous volume is lost when the container is stoppedIf a host directory is not mounted to an anonymous volume of a container, the user data in the anonymous volume is not persistent after the container is stopped.This issue is now resolved.
Known Issues
- Unable to access port forwarding on a NAT virtual machine, if the traffic is routed through the host IP stack on Big Sur hostsOn Big Sur hosts, if user configures NAT port forwarding in Fusion, the service running in the virtual machine is unavailable on the macOS host using localhost:exposedPort, hostIP:exposedPort, or 127.0.0.1:exposedPort; Port forwarding is also not accessible inside a NAT virtual machine using hostIP:exposedPort.Workaround: Access the NAT port forwarding through another physical machine with Windows or macOS; or
access the NAT port forwarding from a bridged virtual machine running on the same Mac machine as the NAT virtual machine. - Virtual machine's IP address must be changed for NAT port forwarding to work after upgrading Fusion on Big Sur hostsIf user configures NAT port forwarding on Fusion 11, the port forwarding may be not accessible after upgrading to Fusion 12 on Big Sur because the virtual machine's IP address changes after upgrade.Microsoft office 2016 16 13 1. Workaround: Change the IP address used for the port forwarding to the current IP address assigned to the virtual machine.
- Users are unable to capture transfer packets in the same subnet of a virtual network inside a virtual machine.Virtual machine's virtual interface doesn't report packet exchanges between other virtual machines in the same subnet on Big Sur hosts.Workaround: Use the virtual interface on the host to capture traffic information in the subnet. For example, use the interface bridge100 on macOS host to capture the traffic in the subnet.
- If you are using multiple displays in Full Screen mode and the external display is unplugged and re-plugged, multiple full screen spaces will be created in the same displayThe guest OS screen can't be refreshed to the expected screen topology and the user is unable to interact with guest OS using keyboard and mouse after unplugging and re-plugging an external monitor.Workaround: Go back to Single Window mode, then switch to Full Screen again.
- Jumbo Frame can't be enabled for NAT and Host-only virtual networks on Big Sur hostsMTU configuration option is not available in the Fusion UI on Big Sur hosts.Workaround:
- To enable jumbo frames on macOS host, navigate to System Preferences > Network> Advanced >Hardware > MTU.
- Change the virtual machine network to bridged mode to use the jumbo frame feature.
- Can't boot a macOS Big Sur virtual machine into Recovery mode or install macOS Big Sur from host RecoveryA virtual machine running macOS Big Sur is stuck in a reboot loop after attempting to boot the guest OS into Recovery by holding the Command+R key during boot. Attempting to create a new Big Sur virtual machine from the host's Recovery partition results in the same failure.To restore normal operation of an existing macOS Big Sur virtual machine, clear the virtual machine's nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) by holding the Command+Option+P+R key combination.
- After the easy install operation is complete, the VMware Tools is not installed in the guest operating systemEasy install will not install VMware tools in some guest operating systems including Windows 7, Windows server 2012 R2 and Windows server 2008 R2. This is because some specific Windows update packages need to be installed manually prior to VMware Tools installation.Workaround: Perform the following steps after the guest operating system becomes ready:
For Windows 7 and Windows server 2008 R2 Guest: Jixipix vintage scenee 2 76 12.- Review the information available here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4472027/2019-sha-2-code-signing-support-requirement-for-windows-and-wsus.

Resolved Issues
- Virtual machine fails to start, if Fusion is deployed to macOS 10.14.5 or above host that does not have Internet accessAfter using Fusion mass deploy package (DeployVMware Fusion.mpkg) to deploy Fusion to a macOS 10.14.5 or above, which has no Internet access, Fusion kernel extensions cannot be loaded when the deployed Fusion is launched, due to which virtual machine fails to start.This issue is now resolved.
- The signature on the VMware Fusion.app is invalidated after it is upgraded with Autoupdate.If the VMware Fusion.app is upgraded to a newer release by the built-in software updater, the signature on VMware Fusion.app is invalidated after the upgrade.This issue is fixed in Fusion 11.5 release. VMware would like to thank Mikey (@0xmachos) for reporting this issue.
Known Issues
Vmware Fusion Pro 11.5
- On an iMac Pro or Mac Pro machine, the macOS 10.15 virtual machine panics while booting upOn an iMac Pro or Mac Pro physical machine, if you use Fusion 11.5 to create a new macOS 10.15 virtual machine, with operating system version greater than macOS 10.15 Beta 5, the macOS virtual machine can install and boot up successfully.However if you use Fusion 11.5 to upgrade an existing macOS virtual machine from an older version (macOS 10.15 Beta 5 or lower) to a version greater than macOS 10.15 Beta 5, the macOS virtual machine panics in the bootup process after the upgrade.Workaround: For the workaround, see https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/74672.
- On macOS 10.15 Catalina host, if you copy a file inside a virtual machine, the file will be pasted to host right after you move mouse out of the virtual machine window.If you copy a file inside a virtual machine, the file will be pasted to the /tmp/VMwareDnd/ folder on host right after you move mouse out of the virtual machine window, this is not supposed to happen as the file is expected to be pasted to the host only after the paste operation is performed. Furthermore, while the copy is in progress, right clicking the Finder will cause it to be unresponsive, Finder will start responding once the copy operation is completed.Workaround: Click Cancel on the copying progress bar to stop the unexpected copy, use the drag-and-drop or shared folder feature to transfer or share file between virtual machine and host.
- With more than 2 displays connected, Windows Vista or Windows 7 virtual machine can not enter Unity mode and Full Screen using all displays mode.Virtual machine fails to enter Unity mode with a message Display Topology update request could not be completed in guest. When the virtual machine is in Full Screen using all displays mode, all the displays will show as mirrored screens.Workaround: Navigate to Open Settings > Display, uncheck the Use full resolution for Retina display checkbox, then log off and re-login to the virtual machine.
- Some virtual machines may have a graphical glitch when running on a macOS 10.15 Catalina host with Intel HD Graphics 530 graphics card.On Mac host which has Intel HD Graphics 530 graphics card and macOS 10.15 Catalina installed, some virtual machines may have a graphical glitch if the Accelerate 3D Graphics check box is checked and the Battery life is set to Use High Performance Graphics for 3D Applications Only or Don't Use High Performance Graphics.Workaround: On the virtual machine's Display Settings, set the Battery life to Always Use High Performance Graphics when Accelerate 3D Graphics is checked or uncheck the Accelerate 3D Graphics check box.
- VMware Tools 11.0.0 kernel extensions can not be launched in macOS 10.11 or 10.12 virtual machine.After installing VMware Tools 11.0.0 on macOS 10.11 or macOS 10.12 virtual machine, running the kextstat | grep vm command in Terminal shows that no VMware Tools kernel extension is launched inside the virtual machine. As a result, all VMware Tools functions are not available, the virtual machine's resolution can not fit to the size of the virtual machine window and shared folders feature does not work.Workaround: Use VMware Tools 10.3.10 instead.
