    Brief introduction

    CVE-2023-34058

        A file descriptor hijack vulnerability was found in         the vmware-user-suid-wrapper command.
        A malicious actor with non-root privileges might have been able         to hijack the /dev/uinput file descriptor allowing         them to simulate user inputs.

    CVE-2023-34059

        A SAML Token Signature Bypass vulnerability was found.
        A malicious actor that has been granted Guest Operation Privileges         in a target virtual machine might have been able to         elevate their privileges if that target         virtual machine has been assigned a more privileged Guest Alias.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     2:10.3.10-1+deb10u6.

    We recommend that you upgrade your open-vm-tools packages.
