'Name' => 'VMware Workstation ALSA Config File Local Privilege Escalation',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a vulnerability in VMware Workstation Pro and
Player on Linux which allows users to escalate their privileges by
using an ALSA configuration file to load and execute a shared object
as root when launching a virtual machine with an attached sound card.
This module has been tested successfully on VMware Player version
12.5.0 on Debian Linux.
