The version of VMware Tools installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is 9.x or 10.x prior to 10.1.0. 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.
