Package : open-vm-tools
CVE ID : CVE-2025-22247
Debian Bug : 1105159
It was discovered that insecure file handling in open-vm-tools, an open
source implementation of VMware Tools, may allow an unprivileged local
guest user to tamper local files to trigger insecure file operations
within that VM.
For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
version 2:12.2.0-1+deb12u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your open-vm-tools packages.
For the detailed security status of open-vm-tools please refer to its
security tracker page at:
