The VMware Player install detected on the remote host is 3.x earlier than 3.1.6, or 4.0.x, earlier than 4.0.4 and is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :
A memory corruption error exists related to the handling of ‘Checkpoint’ files that can allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-3288)
An error exists related to handling traffic from remote physical devices, e.g. CD-ROM or mouse that can cause the virtual machine to crash. Note that this issue affects only the 4.x branch. (CVE-2012-3289)
