I can't find any security bugs fixed, but there are good fixes like this:

"Kernel modules were not upgraded after upgrading OSPs using the recommended procedure
The package vmware-tools-esx-kmods is a meta package that depends on the kernel module package. Installing it with yum/apt/zypper gets the kmod packages. An upgrade of vmware-tools-esx-kmods might not automatically upgrade the kmod packages because the dependency was not versioned.
This issue is fixed in this release."
