+    Tim Shelton discovered that vmnet-natd, the host module providing
+    NAT-style networking for VMware guest operating systems, is unable to
+    process incorrect 'EPRT' and 'PORT' FTP requests.

+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    Malicious guest operating systems using the NAT networking feature or
+    local VMware Workstation users could exploit this vulnerability to
+    execute arbitrary code on the host system with elevated privileges.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    Disable the NAT service by following the instructions at <uri

+    b</uri>, Answer ID 2002.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All VMware Workstation users should upgrade to a fixed version:

+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-emulation/vmware-workstation</code>
