CVE-2017-4909
HighSummary
VMware Workstation (12.x prior to 12.5.3) and Horizon View Client (4.x prior to 4.4.0) contain a heap buffer-overflow vulnerability in the TrueType Font (TTF) parser in TPView.dll. On Workstation, this may allow a guest to execute code or perform a Denial of Service on the Windows OS that runs Workstation.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability may lead to unauthorized code execution or disruption of the operating system, posing a serious security risk to the organization.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update VMware Workstation to version 12.5.3 or Horizon View Client to version 4.4.0 and disable the virtual printing feature if it is not needed.

Original NVD description (English source)
VMware Workstation (12.x prior to 12.5.3) and Horizon View Client (4.x prior to 4.4.0) contain a heap buffer-overflow vulnerability in TrueType Font (TTF) parser in the TPView.dll. 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 View Client, this may allow a View desktop to execute code or perform a Denial of Service on the Windows OS that runs the Horizon View Client. 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 View.
