"The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote Windows
host is 14.x prior to 14.1.1 or 12.x prior to 12.5.9. It is, therefore,
missing security updates that add hypervisor-assisted guest remediation for a
speculative execution vulnerability (CVE-2017-5715). These updates
will allow guest operating systems to use hardware support for
branch target mitigation and will require guest OS security updates
as detailed in VMware Knowledge Base article 52085.
It is also affected by use-after-free and integer-overflow vulnerabilities.

Note that hypervisor-specific remediation's for this vulnerability
were released as part of VMSA-2018-0002.");
