The remote VMware ESXi host is version 6.0, 6.5, or 6.7 and is missing a security patch. It is, therefore, vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities. Leveraging the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the host from the security context of an unprivileged user on the guest system.

Note: CVE-2018-6982 only applies to ESXi 6.5 and 6.7 installations.
ESXi 6.0 installations are not affected.
