**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Oracle VM VirtualBox versions prior to 7.0.20 **Description** The issue is related to errors in resource release in the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox, allowing a low-privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash of Oracle VM VirtualBox. This issue applies to Linux hosts only. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 7.0.20, update to version 7.0.20 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, ensure that Oracle VM VirtualBox is running with the least privileges necessary to reduce the impact of a potential attack.
