"The version of VMware Tools installed on the remote MacOS/MacOSX host
is prior to 10.2.0. It is, therefore, affected by an unspecified flaw
in VMware Tools related to improper guest access control. This allows
a proximate attacker to execute programs via Unity mode on locked
Windows VMs.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead
relied only on the application's self-reported version number.");
