CVE-2017-4908 – ThinPrint TPView JPEG2000 Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2017-4908

VMware Workstation (12.x prior to 12.5.3) and Horizon View Client (4.x prior to 4.4.0) contain multiple heap buffer-overflow vulnerabilities in JPEG2000 parser in the TPView.dll. On Workstation, this may allow a guest to execute code or perform a Denial of Service on the Windows OS that runs Workstation. In the case of a Horizon View Client, this may allow a View desktop to execute code or perform a Denial of Service on the Windows OS that runs the Horizon View Client. Exploitation is only possible if virtual printing has been enabled. This feature is not enabled by default on Workstation but it is enabled by default on Horizon View. • http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/97912 http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1038280 http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1038281 http://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2017-0008.html • CWE-119: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer •
