Synopsis

A virtualization application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote Windows host is 12.x or 14.x prior to 14.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including disclosure of memory contents or a DoS.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to VMware Workstation version 14.1.0 or later.
