Vmware Vcenter Converter Standalone 6.2 Release Notes -

The resolved issues section of the release notes is particularly valuable. One critical fix addressed a problem where conversion jobs would hang indefinitely when processing disks with certain partition table errors. Another resolved issue involved network authentication failures when the source machine was part of a workgroup rather than a domain. The release notes also noted the correction of a memory leak in the worker service, which previously caused converter stability problems during prolonged or batch conversions.

Additionally, version 6.2 fixed a security vulnerability (CVE-2017-4946) related to improper input validation in the Converter Standalone UI plugin, which could allow an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. This patch underscored VMware’s commitment to secure migration tools. vmware vcenter converter standalone 6.2 release notes
