The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote host is 12.x prior to 12.5.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
A heap buffer overflow condition exists in Cortado ThinPrint due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker on the guest can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code on the host system. (CVE-2016-7081)
A memory corruption issue exists in Cortado Thinprint due to improper handling of specially crafted EMF files.
An attacker on the guest can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code on the host system. (CVE-2016-7082)
A memory corruption issue exists in Cortado Thinprint due to improper handling of TrueType fonts embedded in EMFSPOOL. An attacker on the guest can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code on the host system. (CVE-2016-7083)
A memory corruption issue exists in Cortado Thinprint due to improper handling of specially crafted JPEG2000 images. An attacker on the guest can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code on the host system. (CVE-2016-7084)
A flaw exits due to improper loading of some dynamic link library (DLL) files that allows an attacker to load a DLL file and thereby execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-7085)
A flaw exists in the Workstation installer due to insecure loading of executables. An attacker can exploit this, via a crafted application named ‘setup64.exe’ inserted into the same directory as the installer, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-7086)
