  Input data is not properly validated when loading Checkpoint files. This may
  allow an attacker with the ability to load a specially crafted Checkpoint file
  to execute arbitrary code on the host.

  b. VMware Virtual Machine Remote Device Denial of Service

  A device (e.g. CD-ROM, keyboard) that is available to a virtual machine while
  physically connected to a system that does not run the virtual machine is
  referred to as a remote device.

  Traffic coming from remote virtual devices is incorrectly handled. This may
  allow an attacker who is capable of manipulating the traffic from a remote
  virtual device to crash the virtual machine.");
