CVE-2020-3991

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: VMware Horizon Client for Windows versions 5.x before 5.5.0

Description: The issue is related to a denial-of-service condition due to a file system access control problem during installation. It may allow an attacker to overwrite certain admin privileged files through a symbolic link attack, resulting in a denial-of-service condition on the machine where the client is installed. The vulnerability is also associated with insufficient input validation.

Recommendations: For versions 5.x before 5.5.0, update to version 5.5.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting file system access during installation to minimize the risk of exploitation.
