From your link:

Cloudburst uses a vulnerability in the virtual-machine display functions of VMware Workstation that can be exploited by a specially crafted video file.

and...

However, the Cloudburst exploit currently has certain limitations: it will only succeed on Workstation 6.5.0 or 6.5.1 or the associated Player versions. In addition, the guest and host must be Windows-based, among other requirements, Immunity said in its release notes.

Remember, that's a publicly released exploit that's not even very new.

Assume that if that's been publicly released, more advanced stuff has already been seen in the wild.
