Description: This update for open-vm-tools fixes the following issues: - CVE-2022-31676: Fixed an issue that could allow unprivileged users inside a virtual machine to escalate privileges (bsc#1202657). Non-security fixes: - Update to 11.0.5 (build 15389592) (bsc#1165955) DNS server is reported incorrectly in GuestInfo as '127.0.0.53', when the OS uses systemd-resolved. This issue is fixed in this release. Added Application Discover (appInfo) plugin. The plugin collects the information about running applications inside the guest and publishes the information to a guest variable. - GCC-10 compiler failure (bsc#1160408) The update will solve a GNU compiler Collection GCC10 failure with -fno-common. - Rectify a log spew in vmsvc logging (bsc#1162435, bsc#1162119) When a LSI Logic Parallel SCSI controller sits in PCI bus 0 (SCSI controller 0), the Linux disk device enumeration does not provide a "label" file with the controller name. This results in messages like "GuestInfoGetDiskDevice: Missing disk device name; VMDK mapping unavailable for "/var/log", fsName: "/dev/sda2" repeatedly appearing in the vmsvc logging. The update converts what previously was a warning message to a debug message and thus avoids the log spew.
