Descriptions

VMware Workstation (12.x prior to 12.5.3) and Horizon View Client (4.x prior to 4.4.0) contain a heap buffer-overflow vulnerability in TrueType Font (TTF) 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 una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer de la pila en el analizador TrueType Font (TTF) 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 que un escritorio de View ejecute 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.
