TPview.dll in VMware Workstation 10.x before 10.0.6 and 11.x before 11.1.1, VMware Player 6.x before 6.0.6 and 7.x before 7.1.1, and VMware Horizon Client 3.2.x before 3.2.1, 3.3.x, and 5.x local-mode before 5.4.2 on Windows does not properly allocate memory, which allows guest OS users to cause a host OS denial of service via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-2339.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A user inside a VMware guest could cause a denial of service on the Windows host because TPview.dll mishandles memory allocation. This is described as an availability issue, not code execution. Business risk is highest where untrusted or low-trust users can run guest virtual machines. Exposure is likely limited to Windows systems running the affected VMware desktop virtualization products and versions named by VMware and CVE sources. Treat as a targeted availability risk for legacy VMware desktop virtualization hosts, especially shared labs or contractor environments. It is not KEV-listed in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected VMware products to the fixed versions named in the advisory.; Prioritize systems where untrusted users can access guest VMs.; Check current VMware guidance if fixed-version availability or support status is unclear..
