VMware Workstation SetGuestInfo Null Pointer Dereference Denial of Service Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows local attackers to deny service on vulnerable installations of VMware Workstation. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on a guest OS in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the SetGuestInfo RPC function. A crafted request can trigger the dereference of a null pointer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition to users of the guest OS.
