The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200711-23 (VMware Workstation and Player: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in several VMware     products. Neel Mehta and Ryan Smith (IBM ISS X-Force) discovered that     the DHCP server contains an integer overflow vulnerability     (CVE-2007-0062), an integer underflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-0063) and     another error when handling malformed packets (CVE-2007-0061), leading     to stack-based buffer overflows or stack corruption. Rafal Wojtczvk     (McAfee) discovered two unspecified errors that allow authenticated     users with administrative or login privileges on a guest operating     system to corrupt memory or cause a Denial of Service (CVE-2007-4496,     CVE-2007-4497). Another unspecified vulnerability related to untrusted     virtual machine images was discovered (CVE-2007-5617).
VMware products also shipped code copies of software with several     vulnerabilities: Samba (GLSA-200705-15), BIND (GLSA-200702-06), MIT     Kerberos 5 (GLSA-200707-11), Vixie Cron (GLSA-200704-11), shadow     (GLSA-200606-02), OpenLDAP (CVE-2006-4600), PAM (CVE-2004-0813,     CVE-2007-1716), GCC (CVE-2006-3619) and GDB (CVE-2006-4146).

Impact :

Remote attackers within a guest system could possibly exploit these     vulnerabilities to execute code on the host system with elevated     privileges or to cause a Denial of Service.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
