Thanks for posting this here @victorwu. As VMware Tools are active in almost every VMware VM, this is quite serious.

I also just discovered that open-vm-tools also need to be updates. So you also need to look at your Linux VMs and appliances.

Thanks for share Vic!

Important issue to our IT environment….

Time to get updating. VMware is the backbone of our infrastructure so this is important. Thanks Victor. 👍

Thanks for the update @victorwu.

Thanks for posting...I usually get updates from VMware on bug’s and vulnerabilities, but I haven’t see this one. 

Haven't seen this before either.

So, thank you for sharing 😎👍🏼

Thanks for the advice.

Its amazing how fast viruses, vulnerabilities, etc. come across too fast!

Not even finishing patching and we need to start over again with a new one.

😂

This is the new life! 😅
