vulnerabilities :

  - A heap overflow vulnerability in VMware Host Guest File
    System (HGFS), could allow a guest to execute arbitrary
    code subject to the privileges of the user running 'vmx'
    process. In order to successfully exploit this issue a
    folder should be shared on the host system and sharing
    should be enabled, which is disabled by default.
    (CVE-2012-2098)

  - A vulnerability in Virtual Machine Communication
    Interface (VMCI), a 'experimental' feature designed for
    users building client-server applications, could allow
    a guest to execute arbitrary code subject to the
    privileges of the user running 'vmx' process. For
    successful exploitation of this issue VMCI feature
    should be enabled on the host. (CVE-2012-2099)");
