The version of the remote VMware ESXi 5.5 host is prior to build 5230635. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
An unspecified flaw exists in memory initialization that allows an attacker on the guest to execute arbitrary code on the host. (CVE-2017-4904)
An unspecified flaw exists in memory initialization that allows the disclosure of sensitive information.
(CVE-2017-4905)
