3. Problem Description
a. VMware Workstation and Horizon Client memory manipulation issues
VMware Workstation and Horizon Client TPView.ddl and TPInt.dll
incorrectly handle memory allocation. 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
Client, this may allow a View desktop to execute code or perform
a Denial of Service on the Windows OS that runs the Horizon Client.
VMware would like to thank Kostya Kortchinsky of the Google
Security Team for reporting these issues to us.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the identifiers CVE-2012-0897 and CVE-2015-2336
(TPView.dll Code Execution), CVE-2015-2338 and CVE-2015-2339
(TPview.dll DoS), CVE-2015-2337 (TPInt.dll Code Execution), and
CVE-2015-2340 (TPInt.dll DoS) to these issues.
