Printer virtualization under VMware Workstation involves a vprintproxy.exe process launched by vmware-vmx.exe on the Host. It will receive and process EMFSPOOL files sent by a Guest on its COM1 port, if a virtual printer has been added to the VM hardware (default). Several vulnerabilities in this component allow an unprivileged Guest user to execute code on the Host.
