Descriptions

VMware Workstation (14.x before 14.1.0 and 12.x) and Horizon View Client (4.x before 4.7.0) contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in TPView.dll. On Workstation, this issue in conjunction with other bugs may allow a guest to leak information from host or may allow for a Denial of Service on the Windows OS that runs Workstation. In the case of a Horizon View Client, this issue in conjunction with other bugs may allow a View desktop to leak information from host or may allow for 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.

VMware Workstation (en versiones 14.x anteriores a la 14.1.0 y 12.x) y Horizon View Client (en versiones 4.x anteriores a la 4.7.0) contienen una vulnerabilidad de lectura fuera de límites en TPView.dll. En Workstation, este problema junto con otros errores podría permitir que un invitado filtre información del host o podría permitir que se produzca una denegación de servicio (DoS) en el sistema operativo de Windows que ejecuta Workstation. En el caso de Horizon View Client, esto junto con otros errores puede permitir que una opción "Ver escritorio" revele información del host o podría permitir que se produzca una denegación de servicio (DoS) en el sistema operativo de Windows 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.
