"The remote VMware ESXi 5.1 host is affected by the following security
vulnerabilities :

  - An input validation error exists in the function
    'png_set_text_2' in the libpng library that could
    allow memory corruption and arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2011-3048)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the
    Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI). A local
    attacker can exploit this, via control code, to change
    allocated memory, resulting in the escalation of
    privileges. (CVE-2013-1406)

  - An error exists related to Network File Copy (NFC)
    handling that could allow denial of service attacks or
    arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-1659)");
