"The version of VMware Player installed on the remote host is version
6.x prior to 6.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by the following
vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows a local attacker
    to escalate privileges or cause a denial of service
    via an arbitrary write to a file. (CVE-2014-8370)

  - An input validation error exists in the Host Guest File
    System (HGFS) that allows a local attacker to cause a
    denial of service of the guest operating system.
    (CVE-2015-1043)

  - An input validation error exists in the VMware
    Authorization process (vmware-authd) that allows a
    remote attacker to cause a denial of service of the host
    operating system. (CVE-2015-1044)");
