High-privilege local denial of service
Published Apr 21, 2026 · Updated Apr 21, 2026
Denial of service in the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox 7.2.6 allows local users with high privileges to partially interrupt service. Oracle has not published the affected Core locus or the operation on attacker-controlled input that triggers the availability loss. Exploitation requires logon to the host infrastructure with high privileges; Oracle reports no confidentiality or integrity impact.
