Resolved Issues
---------------
-* **In open-vm-tools (Linux only), a memory leak occurs in disk device mapping information for IDE, SATA or SAS (LSI Logic SAS) disks configured in the guest.**

- Due to this issue, the memory usage of vmtoolsd system service gradually increases, which may impact system performance. This problem does not occur when mapping SCSI or NVMe devices.
-
+* **The SUSE specific vmtoolsd PAM configuration file incorrectly referenced pam_securetty.so.**
+
