Hypervisor data disclosure via shader register bounds error
Published Jan 15, 2020 · Updated Sep 30, 2024
Out-of-bounds read in Oracle VM VirtualBox Core before 5.2.36, before 6.0.16, and before 6.1.2 allows local users to disclose hypervisor data. The shader_get_registers_used function fails to validate guest-supplied shader data before reading past the end of an allocated object. Exploitation requires low-privileged code execution in a guest, and the disclosure can expose data accessible to the hypervisor or support a chained hypervisor-context compromise.
