(VMware Workstation: Vulnerability in NAT networking)

    Tim Shelton discovered that vmnet-natd, the host module providing
    NAT-style networking for VMware guest operating systems, is unable to
    process incorrect 'EPRT' and 'PORT' FTP requests.
  
Impact :

    Malicious guest operating systems using the NAT networking feature or
    local VMware Workstation users could exploit this vulnerability to
    execute arbitrary code on the host system with elevated privileges.
  
Workaround :

    Disable the NAT service by following the instructions at http://www.vmware.com/support/k
    b, Answer ID 2002."
