This update for virtualbox fixes the following issues :

Update to Oracle version 6.1.14a.

This minor update enables the building of libvirt again.

Version update to 6.1.14 (released September 04 2020 by Oracle)

File 'fix_virtio_build.patch' is added to fix a build problem. This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
GUI: Fixes file name changes in the File location field when creating Virtual Hard Disk (bug #19286) VMM: Fixed running VMs which failed to start with VERR_NEM_MISSING_KERNEL_API_2 when Hyper-V is used (bug #19779 and #19804) Audio: fix regression in HDA emulation introduced in 6.1.0 Shared Clipboard: Fixed a potential crash when copying HTML data (6.1.2 regression; bug #19226) Linux host and guest: Linux kernel version 5.8 support EFI: Fixed reading ISO9660 filesystems on attached media (6.1.0 regression; bug #19682) EFI: Support booting from drives attached to the LsiLogic SCSI and SAS controller emulations

Pseudo version bump to 6.1.13, which is NOT an Oracle release.

Update VB sources to run under kernel 5.8.0+ with no modifications to the kernel. These sources are derived from r85883 of the Oracle svn repository. For operations with USB(2,3), the extension pack for revision 140056 must be installed. Once Oracle releases 6.1.14, then the extension pack and VB itself will have the same revision number.
File 'fixes_for_5.8.patch' is removed as that part was fixed upstream.
Fixes boo#1175201.

Apply Oracle changes for kernel 5.8.

Version bump to 6.1.12 (released July 14 2020 by Oracle)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202101-09 (VirtualBox: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in VirtualBox. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    An attacker could take control of VirtualBox resulting in the execution       of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, a Denial of Service       condition, or other unspecified impacts.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The Prior to 5.2.44, prior to 6.0.24, and prior to 6.1.12 versions of VM VirtualBox installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the July 2020 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox product of Oracle Virtualization (component: Core). Supported     versions that are affected are Prior to 5.2.44, prior to 6.0.24 and prior to 6.1.12. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows high 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. Note: The CVE-2020-14628 is applicable to Windows VM only.     (CVE-2020-14628, CVE-2020-14629, CVE-2020-14703, CVE-2020-14704, CVE-2020-14711, CVE-2020-14714,     CVE-2020-14715)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox product of Oracle Virtualization (component: Core). Supported     versions that are affected are Prior to 5.2.44, prior to 6.0.24 and prior to 6.1.12. Difficult to exploit     vulnerability allows high 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.

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox product of Oracle Virtualization (component: Core). Supported     versions that are affected are Prior to 5.2.44, prior to 6.0.24 and prior to 6.1.12. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox     executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person     other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation,     deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data.
    (CVE-2020-14707, CVE-2020-14712)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Oracle reports :

Vulnerabilities in VirtualBox core can allow users with logon access to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks of these vulnerabilities can result in unauthorized access to critical data, access to all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data, unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) or takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox.
