vmwarebase.dll, as used in the vmware-authd service (aka vmware-authd.exe), in VMware Workstation 6.5.1 build 126130, 6.5.1 and earlier; VMware Player 2.5.1 build 126130, 2.5.1 and earlier; VMware ACE 2.5.1 and earlier; VMware Server 2.0.x before 2.0.1…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (8.64%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
