Synopsis

A virtualization application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by pixel shader out-of-bounds read/write vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote Windows host is 14.0.x prior to 14.1.6 or 15.0.x prior to 15.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities. Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
