"The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote host is
version 10.x prior to 10.0.2. It is, therefore, reportedly affected by
a privilege escalation vulnerability.

A kernel NULL dereference flaw exists in VMware tools on Windows 8.1
guest hosts. An attacker could escalate his privileges on the guest
host.

Note that successful exploitation of the vulnerability does not allow
privilege escalation from the guest host to the host system.");
