Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in VMware Workstation and Horizon Client (Virtualization Software) (unknown version). It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code block of the component Cortado Thinprint. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

VMware Workstation (15.x) and Horizon Client for Windows (5.x before 5.4.4) contain an information disclosure vulnerability due to an integer overflow issue in Cortado ThinPrint component. A malicious actor with normal access to a virtual machine may be able to exploit this issue to leak memory from TPView process running on the system where Workstation or Horizon Client for Windows is installed. 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 Client.

The weakness was released 09/16/2020 (Website). The advisory is shared at vmware.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2020-3990 since 12/30/2019. An attack has to be approached locally.
