VMware Player 6.x < 6.0.6 Multiple Vulnerabilities (VMSA-2015-0004)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 84219

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has a virtualization application installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of VMware Player installed on the remote Windows host is 6.x prior to 6.0.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists due to a stack-based buffer overflow condition in the JPEG2000 plugin that is triggered when parsing a Quantization Default (QCD) marker segment in a JPEG2000 (JP2) image file. A remote attacker can exploit this, using a specially crafted image, to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2012-0897)

 - Multiple unspecified remote code execution vulnerabilities exists in 'TPView.dll' and 'TPInt.dll' library files. (CVE-2015-2336, CVE-2015-2337)

 - The 'TPview.dll' and 'TPInt.dll' library files fail to properly handle memory allocation. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service.
 (CVE-2015-2338, CVE-2015-2339, CVE-2015-2340)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input to a remote procedure call (RPC) command. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted command, to crash the host or guest operating systems. (CVE-2015-2341)

Solution

Upgrade to VMware Player version 6.0.6 or later.
