DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in VMware, which potentially can
be exploited by malicious, local users to gain knowledge of sensitive
information.

The problem is caused due to missing return code checks of the
"chmod()" call in vmware-config.pl when setting permissions for SSL
key files. This may potentially result in insecure read permissions
being set on the key file.

SOLUTION:
The vendor recommends to changing the file permissions (see vendor
advisory).
