VMware released a security bulletin[1] with moderate to critical vulnerabilities. The following products are affected:

The vulnerabilities may allow a guest to execute code on the host, may lead to a DDoS or information leakage (depending on the product and version). Patches are available.

In VMware words, "At this point VMware’s recommendation is that customers expedite updating, though need not take emergency measures like taking environments offline."
