The host is missing a critical severity security update according to advisory VMSA-2020-0015 and is prone to a use-after-free vulnerability.

Successful exploitation of this issue may lead to code execution on the host from the guest or may allow attackers to create a denial-of-service condition of the vmnetdhcp service running on the host machine.
