"The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote
host is 14.x prior to 14.1.6 or 15.x prior to 15.0.3. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the vertex
    shader component of the 3D-acceleration feature could
    allow an authenticated attacker to disclose sensitive
    information or cause a denial-of-service of the guest
    virtual machine. (CVE-2019-5516)

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the shader
    translator component of the 3D-acceleration feature could
    allow an authenticated attacker to disclose sensitive
    information or cause a denial-of-service of the guest
    virtual machine. (CVE-2019-5517)

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the
    3D-acceleration feature could allow an authenticated
    attacker to disclose sensitive information.
    (CVE-2019-5520)

Note virtual machines must be configured with the 3D-acceleration
enabled. VMware Workstation defaults to this feature being enabled.
