Descriptions

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.

Workstation (versiones 12.x anteriores a 12.5.3) y Horizon View Client (versiones 4.x anteriores a 4.4.0) de VMware, contienen varias vulnerabilidades de desbordamiento de búfer de la pila en el analizador JPEG2000 en la biblioteca TPView.dll. En Workstation, esto puede permitir a un invitado ejecutar código o realizar una denegación de servicio en el sistema operativo Windows que ejecuta Workstation. En el caso de Horizon View Client, esto puede permitir a un escritorio de View ejecutar código o realice una denegación de servicio en el sistema operativo Windows que ejecuta Horizon View Client. La explotación solo es posible si la impresión virtual ha sido habilitada. Esta funcionalidad no está habilitada por defecto en Workstation, pero está habilitada por defecto en Horizon View.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of ThinPrint. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within JPEG2000 parsing. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the host OS.
