"The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote host is a
version prior to 8.0.5 / 9.0.1.  It is, therefore, reportedly affected
by a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Virtual Machine
Communication Interface (VMCI) in the 'VMCI.sys' driver. 

By exploiting this issue, a local attacker could elevate their
privileges on Windows-based hosts or Windows-based Guest Operating
Systems. 

Note that systems that have VMCI disabled are also affected by this
issue."
