Summary

VMware Workstation and Horizon View Client are susceptible to multiple out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities due to flaws in the JPEG2000 parser found in TPView.dll. If exploited, these vulnerabilities could enable a guest OS to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service on the Windows host OS running VMware Workstation or Horizon View Client. This exploitation requires that the virtual printing feature be activated, which is enabled by default in Horizon View but not in Workstation.

Affected Version(s)

Horizon View Client for Windows 4.x prior to 4.4.0

Workstation 12.x prior to 12.5.3
