CVE-2018-6970
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.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.76%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
