## Resolved Issues

* **Fix for CVE-2015-5191**
Nothing applicable to open-vm-tools.

Open VMware Tools (CVE-2015-5191) contained multiple file system races in libDeployPkg, related to the use of hard-coded paths under /tmp.
## Known Issues

Successful exploitation may result in a local privilege escalation. The impact of this vulnerability is low for distributions which have enabled PrivateTmp for the affected service.
* **VMware Tools service stops running in the virtual machine**

We would like to thank Florian Weimer and Kurt Seifried of Red Hat Product Security for reporting this issue to us.
When tools.conf configuration file is configured with an entry similar to the following, without specifying the filename, VMware Tools service might stop running with a segmentation fault.

```
[logging]
vmsvc.handler=file
```

To work around this issue, set a file name. For example,

```vmsvc.data=/var/log/vmware-vmsvc.log```

If for some reason RandR12GetInfo failed to return RandR12Info,
it should not follow the cleanup path to free it. Instead it
should return FALSE.

Tools Hgfs Plugin: refresh Hgfs drives on client start

In order to get Explorer to see that VMware Shared Folders drives are
available when the feature is enabled, we touch each drive that is
mapped as a VMware Shared Folder. This is to prevent users being
confused when the have the feature enabled but Explorer creates the
user's drive mappings before the tools service has initialized the
Hgfs plugin and started the Hgfs client. In this situation the drives
were marked as red (disconnected) until the user clicks on the mapped
drive. Then Explorer will refresh the connction and set it to green
(connected).

For FreeBSD 11 and later the correct osname is "freeBSD11".
Without the correct osname, guestInfo ends up with wrong guestId
and guestFullName. Adjust the osname based on the FreeBSD release.
