Descriptions
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in VMware Workstation Pro 12.x before 12.5.0 and VMware Workstation Player 12.x before 12.5.0 on Windows, when Cortado ThinPrint virtual printing is enabled, allow guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS via unspecified vectors.
Múltiples desbordamientos de búfer basados en memoria dinámica en VMware Workstation Pro 12.x en versiones anteriores a 12.5.0 y VMware Workstation Player 12.x en versiones anteriores a 12.5.0 en Windows, cuando la impresión virtual Cortado ThinPrint está habilitada, permiten a usuarios invitados del SO ejecutar código arbitrario en el SO anfitrión a través de vectores no especificados.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of ThinPrint. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of print requests. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges under the context of the host OS.
