The version of VMware Fusion installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is 8.x prior to 8.5.0. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability in the System Integrity Protection (SIP) feature. A local attacker can exploit this issue to obtain kernel memory addresses and thereby bypass the kASLR protection mechanism.
