The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote Windows host is 12.x prior to 12.5.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the Cortado ThinPrint component, specifically within TPView.dll, due to improper validation of certain input when parsing JPEG2000 files. An attacker on the guest can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution or arbitrary code on the host system.
(CVE-2017-4908)
A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the Cortado ThinPrint component, specifically within TPView.dll, due to improper validation of certain input when parsing TrueType Fonts. An attacker on the guest can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution or arbitrary code on the host system.
(CVE-2017-4909)
Out-of-bounds read and write errors exist in the Cortado ThinPrint component, specifically within TPView.dll, due to improper validation of certain input when parsing JPEG2000 files. An attacker on the guest can exploit these to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code on the host system. (CVE-2017-4910, CVE-2017-4911)
Out-of-bounds read and write errors exist in the Cortado ThinPrint component, specifically within TPView.dll, due to improper validation of certain input when parsing TrueType Fonts. An attacker on the guest can exploit these to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code on the host system. (CVE-2017-4912)
An integer overflow condition exists in the Cortado ThinPrint component, specifically within TPView.dll, due to improper validation of certain input when parsing TrueType Fonts. An attacker on the guest can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code on the host system. (CVE-2017-4913)
The above vulnerabilities can be exploited only if virtual printing has been enabled. This feature is not enabled by default on VMware Workstation.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
