Host data disclosure and modification
Published Apr 22, 2021 · Updated Sep 26, 2024
Information disclosure and data modification in Oracle VM VirtualBox before 6.1.20 allow local users to compromise the hypervisor Core. Oracle has not published the vulnerable Core operation or the input it handles. Low-privileged access to the host where VirtualBox runs is required; successful exploitation reads or modifies all data accessible to VirtualBox, without service interruption.
