Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). Supported versions that are affected are prior to 5.2.24 and prior to 6.0.2. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. While the vulnerability is in Oracle VM VirtualBox, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 7.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Other issues fixed :

  - Linux Additions: fix for building vboxvideo on EL 7.6     standard kernel, contributed by Robert Conde

  - USB: fixed a problem causing failures attaching     SuperSpeed devices which report USB version 3.1 (rather     than 3.0) on Windows hosts

  - Audio: added support for surround speaker setups used by     Windows 10 Build 1809

  - Linux hosts: fixed conflict between Debian and Oracle     build desktop files 

  - Linux guests: fixed building drivers on SLES 12.4

  - Linux guests: fixed building shared folder driver with     older kernels

This update for virtualbox version 5.2.24 fixes the following issues :

Update fixes multiple vulnerabilities :

The version of Oracle VM VirtualBox running on the remote host is 5.2.x prior to 5.2.24 or 6.0.x prior to 6.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as noted in the January 2018 Critical Patch Update advisory :

  - A denial of service vulnerability in the bundled     third-party component OpenSSL library's DSA signature     algorithm that renders it vulnerable to a timing side     channel attack. An attacker could leverage this     vulnerability to recover the private key.
    (CVE-2018-0734)

  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Core     component of Oracle VirtualBox could allow an     authenticated, local attacker with logon to the     infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to     compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. (CVE-2018-3309,     CVE-2019-2500, CVE-2019-2520, CVE-2019-2521,     CVE-2019-2522, CVE-2019-2523, CVE-2019-2524,     CVE-2019-2526, CVE-2019-2548, CVE-2019-2552)

  - Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Core     component of Oracle VirtualBox could allow an     authenticated, local attacker with logon to the     infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to     potentially expose critical or confidential data.
    (CVE-2019-2446, CVE-2019-2448, CVE-2019-2450,     CVE-2019-2451, CVE-2019-2501, CVE-2019-2504,     CVE-2019-2505, CVE-2019-2506, CVE-2019-2525,     CVE-2019-2553, CVE-2019-2554, CVE-2019-2555,     CVE-2019-2556)

  - Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the Core     component of Oracle VirtualBox could allow an     authenticated, local attacker with logon to the     infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to     cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2019-2508,     CVE-2019-2509, CVE-2019-2527)

  - An denial of service vulnerabilities with the SOAP     protocol in the Core component of Oracle VirtualBox     could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker, to     potentially a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2019-2511)
