"The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote host is
12.x prior to 12.5.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in the vmware-vmx process when loading
    dynamic link library (DLL) files due to searching an
    insecure path, which was defined in a local environment
    variable. A local attacker can exploit this, via a
    specially crafted file injected into the path, to
    execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on the
    host. (CVE-2017-4898)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the SVGA driver
    due to improper validation of certain input. A local
    attacker can exploit this within a VM to crash it or
    to disclose sensitive memory contents. (CVE-2017-4899)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the SVGA
    driver due to improper validation of certain input. A
    local attacker can exploit this within a VM to crash it.
