Technical details
The vulnerability exists in the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox version 7.2.16 and affects the virtualization engine itself. It is easily exploitable by a high-privileged attacker (requiring administrative or host-level access) with local logon to the infrastructure. The attack has local attack vector (AV:L) and does not require user interaction. Successful exploitation results in unauthorized read access to a subset of VirtualBox data and the ability to cause partial denial of service. The vulnerability exhibits scope change (S:C), meaning attacks against VirtualBox can impact additional products beyond itself.
