The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote host is 16.x prior to 16.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in the Cortado ThinPrint component’s TrueType font parser. A local attacker can exploit this in order to cause the ThinPrint service to stop responding.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
