Description

A DLL side loading vulnerability was found in the VMware Host Guest Client Redirector,
a component of VMware Tools. This issue can be exploited by luring a victim into
opening a document from the attacker's share. An attacker can exploit this issue to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target user. This can potentially
result in the attacker taking complete control of the affected system. If the WebDAV
Mini-Redirector is enabled, it is possible to exploit this issue over the internet.
