The version of VMware Tools installed on the remote Mac OS X host is 9.x or 10.x prior to 10.0.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple NULL pointer dereference flaws in the graphic acceleration functions due to improper memory handling. A local attacker can exploit these to gain elevated privileges.
