The version of VMware Player installed on the remote host is version 6.x prior to 6.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  • An unspecified flaw exists that allows a local attacker to escalate privileges or cause a denial of service via an arbitrary write to a file. (CVE-2014-8370)

  • An input validation error exists in the Host Guest File System (HGFS) that allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service of the guest operating system.
    (CVE-2015-1043)

  • An input validation error exists in the VMware Authorization process (vmware-authd) that allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service of the host operating system. (CVE-2015-1044)
