The version of VMware Tools installed on the remote Windows host is 10.x prior to 10.2.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including disclosure of memory contents and a DoS.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
