The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote Windows host is 12.x prior to 12.5.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
A heap buffer overflow condition exists due to improper validation of certain input. An attacker on the guest can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code on the host.
(CVE-2017-4902)
A stack memory initialization flaw exists that allows an attacker on the guest to execute arbitrary code on the host. (CVE-2017-4903)
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.
