The version of VMware Fusion installed on the Mac OS X host is a version prior to 4.1.4 / 5.0.2. It is, therefore, reportedly affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI).
By exploiting this issue, a local attacker could elevate their privileges on Windows-based hosts or Windows-based Guest Operating Systems.
Note that systems that have VMCI disabled are also affected by this issue.
