It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-4948 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Workstation. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-4948/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-4948/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-4948","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-4948/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-4948","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2436-v72x-5q8x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"VMware Workstation","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An out-of-bounds read in VMware Workstation and Horizon View Client allows guest-to-host information leakage or denial of service when virtual printing is enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"horizon_view","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workstation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"},{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"VMware Workstation (14.x before 14.1.0 and 12.x) and Horizon View Client (4.x before 4.7.0) contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in TPView.dll.
