The version of VMware Fusion installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is 8.x prior to 8.5.5. It is, therefore, affected by a guest-to-host arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the drag-and-drop (DND) functionality due to an out-of-bounds memory access error. An attacker within a guest can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code on the host system.
