## 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```

+ 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).
