open-vm-tools 12.2.5 was released on June 13, 2023.

There are no new features in the open-vm-tools 12.2.5 release. This is
primarily a maintenance release that addresses a single critical problem:

  *  Address CVE-2023-20867 announced in
https://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2023-0013.html

For complete details, see:
https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/releases/tag/stable-12.2.5

Release Notes are available at:
https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/stable-12.2.5/ReleaseNotes.md

The granular changes that have gone into the 12.2.5 release are in the
ChangeLog at:
https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/stable-12.2.5/open-vm-tools/ChangeLog

Patches applicable to previous open-vm-tools releases are available at
https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/tree/CVE-2023-20867.patch

Since FreeBSD typically does not build the vgauth service, the current
open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-nox11 are not affected by CVE-2023-20867. 
However you may want to update to 12.2.5 for FreeBSD customers that may enable
the vgauth service when building from /usr/ports.
