DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in VMware View, which can
be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges
and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Two unspecified errors in the XPDM and WDDM display drivers can be
exploited to cause buffer overflows.

2) A null-pointer dereference error exists in the XPDM display
driver.

3) Certain unspecified input passed to the View Manager Portal is not
properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 4.6.1.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.6.1.
