CVE-2012-5978
Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in the (1) View Connection Server and (2) View Security Server in VMware View 4.x before 4.6.2 and 5.x before 5.1.2 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.80%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
