This update to virtualbox 5.0.40 fixes the following issues:
These security issues were fixed (bsc#1034854):
CVE-2017-3513: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). Difficult to exploit
vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the
infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle
VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible
data.
CVE-2017-3538: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Shared Folder). Difficult to
exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the
infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle
VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data
or all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data as well as unauthorized
access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle VM VirtualBox
accessible data.
CVE-2017-3558: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). Easily exploitable
vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the
infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle
VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash
(complete DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox as well as unauthorized update,
insert or delete access to some of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data
and unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox
accessible data.
CVE-2017-3559: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). Easily exploitable
vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the
infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle
VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash
(complete DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox as well as unauthorized update,
insert or delete access to some of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data
and unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox
accessible data.
CVE-2017-3561: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). Easily exploitable
vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the
infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle
VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox.
CVE-2017-3563: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). Easily exploitable
vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the
infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle
VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox.
CVE-2017-3575: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). Easily exploitable
vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the
infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle
VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data
or all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data and unauthorized ability to
cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle VM
VirtualBox.
CVE-2017-3576: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). Easily exploitable
vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the
infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle
VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox.
CVE-2017-3587: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Shared Folder). Easily exploitable
vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the
infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle
VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data
or all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data and unauthorized ability to
cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle VM
VirtualBox. These non-security issues were fixed:
Storage: fixed a potential hang under rare circumstances
Storage: fixed a potential crash under rare circumstances (asynchronous
I/O disabled or during maintenance file operations like merging
snapshots)
Storage: fixed a potential crash under rare circumstances (no
asynchronous I/O or during maintenance file operations like merging
snapshots)
Linux hosts: make the ALSA backend work again as well as Loading the GL
libraries on certain hosts
GUI: donβt crash on restoring defaults in the appliance import dialog
