open-vm-tools 12.3.5 does resolve the two CVEs addressed in bug 1216432, but it also has an update to the deployPkg plugin coordinated with recent releases of cloud-init for improvement for guest VM customization.

Please consider subsequent rebase of the open-vm-tools 12.3.5 to upcoming SLES releases/updates for the convenience of SLES users
