Descriptions

VMware Workstation (12.x before 12.5.8) and Horizon View Client for Windows (4.x before 4.6.1) contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability 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 Client.

VMware Workstation (en versiones 12.x anteriores a la 12.5.8) y Horizon View Client para Windows (en versiones 4.x anteriores a la 4.6.1) contienen una vulnerabilidad de lectura fuera de límites en el analizador JPEG2000 en TPView.dll. En Workstation, esto puede permitir que un invitado ejecute código o provoque una denegación de servicio en el sistema operativo Windows que ejecuta Workstation. En el caso de Horizon View Client, esto puede permitir que una opción "Ver escritorio" ejecute código o provoque una denegación de servicio en el sistema operativo que ejecuta Horizon View Client. Solo es posible que se explote esta vulnerabilidad si se ha habilitado la impresión virtual. Esta característica no está habilitada por defecto en Workstation, pero sí lo está en Horizon View Client.
