"The version of VMware Fusion installed on the remote Mac OS X host is
version 6.x prior to 6.0.3. It is, therefore, reportedly affected by a
privilege escalation vulnerability.

A kernel NULL dereference flaw exists in VMware tools on Windows 8.1
guest hosts. An attacker could escalate his privileges on the guest
host.

Note that successful exploitation of the vulnerability does not allow
privilege escalation from the guest host to the host system.");
