Oracle VirtualBox Insufficient Input Validation Vulnerability. Actively exploited: CISA added this vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 03/03/2022. Patch affected systems as an emergency.
| Package | Affected versions | Patched versions |
|---|---|---|
| virtualbox | < 1.6.4 | 1.6.4 |
The VBoxDrvNtDeviceControl function in VBoxDrv.sys in Sun xVM VirtualBox before 1.6.4 uses the METHOD_NEITHER communication method for IOCTLs and does not properly validate a buffer associated with the Irp object, which allows local users to gain privileges by opening the \\.\VBoxDrv device and calling DeviceIoControl to send a crafted kernel address.
