CVE-2007-1876
VMware Workstation before 5.5.4, when running a 64-bit Windows guest on a 64-bit host, allows local users to "corrupt the virtual machine's register context" by debugging a local program and stepping into a "syscall instruction."
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.37%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
