description |
open-vm-tools 12.1.5 was released on Nov. 29, 2022.
This release contains several fixes including:
- The deployPkg plugin may prematurely reboot the guest VM before cloud-init
has completed user data setup
- A SIGSEGV may be encountered when a non-quiescing snapshot times out.
- A number of Coverity reported issues have been addressed.
For complete details, see: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/releases/tag/stable-12.1.5
Release Notes are available at: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/stable-12.1.5/ReleaseNotes.md
The granular changes that have gone into the 12.1.5 release are in the ChangeLog at: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/stable-12.1.5/open-vm-tools/ChangeLog
Please rebase open-vm-tools to release 12.1.5 on supported Ubuntu releases as appropriate |
[Impact]
* Without SRUing the newer version users get issues running on more
recent hypervisors - this is a case of [1] in the SRU policy.
* Furthermore Upstream releases this as a collection of fixes which is
usually worth it to pick up.
* This is not backporting a single fix, but the version of a latter
Ubuntu release.
[Test Case]
* TL;DR is "use open-vm-tools" but that can be quite complex for the
variety of potential Host versions.
* VMWare itself took ownership of verifying these backports and will test
the same bits from a PPA and the SRU for the official "ack"
* Users are invited to test upgrading their own different setups.
* In general we recommend giving this some extra time in -proposed to see
if anybody uncovers issues.
[Regression Potential]
* It is a new version which might contain new issues. This is being
shipped in lunar-devel for some weeks, with no new bug reports filed.
* There is an added build dependency for libabsl-dev. This is not known
to cause any problems or regressions, but may unexpectedly enable
functionality that had been missing before, thus issues related to
abseil may be indicators of potential regressions.
[Other Info]
* This includes a cherrypicked FTBFS fix from Debian to add a b-d on
libabsl-dev, that is needed on jammy/kinetic. It does not FTBFS on
lunar.
* As agreed back when processing bug 1741390 the real verification of
open-vm-tools for having the proper test matrix and project ownership
is on VMWare.
