No special setting or call is needed.\n\nAffected product: open-vm-tools. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/ALBA-2021-4225/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/ALBA-2021-4225/index.md)","id":"ALBA-2021:4225","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/ALBA-2021-4225/index.md","name":"ALBA-2021:4225","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","exploitable_when_present":false,"fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux distribution package","requires_auth":"unknown","requires_specific_call":false,"summary":"An unspecified flaw in the open-vm-tools package on AlmaLinux has been fixed; AlmaLinux administrators should update.","user_interaction":"unknown","vuln_class":"other","vulnerable_functions":[]},"analysis_generated_by":"sbomify/insights-2b-fp8","assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"For detailed information on changes in this release, see the AlmaLinux Release Notes linked from the References section.","ecosystems":["AlmaLinux:8"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":true,"headline":"open-vm-tools bug fix and enhancement update","id":"ALBA-2021:4225","indexable":false,"kev":null,"kind":"advisory","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2021"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":null,"nickname":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","fixed":["11.2.5-2.el8"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"open-vm-tools","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/open-vm-tools","source":"ALBA-2021:4225"},{"ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","fixed":["11.2.5-2.el8"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"open-vm-tools-desktop","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/open-vm-tools-desktop","source":"ALBA-2021:4225"},{"ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","fixed":["11.2.5-2.el8"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"open-vm-tools-sdmp","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/open-vm-tools-sdmp","source":"ALBA-2021:4225"}],"products":null,"published":"2021-11-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"AlmaLinux","prefix":"ALBA"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":"An unspecified flaw in the open-vm-tools package on AlmaLinux has been fixed; AlmaLinux administrators should update.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/ALBA-2021-4225/"}
