CVE-2019-5536
VMware ESXi (6.7 before ESXi670-201908101-SG and 6.5 before ESXi650-201910401-SG), Workstation (15.x before 15.5.0) and Fusion (11.x before 11.5.0) contain a denial-of-service vulnerability in the shader functionality.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.12%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
