Oracle VM VirtualBox 7.2.16 contains a Core-component flaw that lets an attacker who already has a logon on the host crash the hypervisor (complete denial of service) and make limited unauthorized modifications to VirtualBox-accessible data, provided they can induce a victim to perform a user action. The issue is local rather than network-reachable, requires no special privileges beyond an interactive session on the machine where VirtualBox runs, and is rated 6.1 on the CVSS 3.1 scale (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H). …
