VMware Workstation contains a heap-overflow vulnerability in CD-ROM device emulation. A malicious actor with access to a virtual machine with CD-ROM device emulation may be able to exploit this vulnerability in conjunction with other issues to execute code on the hypervisor from a virtual machine.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
