VMware Horizon 6 (6.x.x before 6.2.7), Horizon 7 (7.x.x before 7.5.1), and Horizon Client (4.x.x and prior before 4.8.1) contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Message Framework library. Successfully exploiting this issue may allow a less-privileged user to leak information from a privileged process running on a system where Horizon Connection Server, Horizon Agent or Horizon Client are installed. Note: This issue doesn't apply to Horizon 6, 7 Agents installed on Linux systems or Horizon Clients installed on non-Windows systems.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-6970 is an information disclosure flaw in VMware Horizon components on Windows. A lower-privileged local user may be able to read information from a privileged Horizon-related process. The source bundle does not provide CVSS scoring or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on Windows systems running affected VMware Horizon Connection Server, Horizon Agent, or Horizon Client versions. Environments without these products, Linux Horizon Agents, or non-Windows Horizon Clients are not indicated as affected by the source bundle. Treat this as an inventory and patch verification item for legacy Horizon estates. Business urgency rises where affected Windows Horizon systems host many users or sensitive sessions, but the provided evidence does not support claiming active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Horizon 6 to 6.2.7 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Horizon 7 to 7.5.1 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Windows Horizon Client to 4.8.1 or later..
