Oracle · Virtualbox · CVE-2020-14892
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Oracle VM VirtualBox versions prior to 6.1.16
**Description**
The issue is related to insufficient input validation in the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox, which can be exploited to cause a denial of service. A low-privileged attacker with login access to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox is running can compromise the system, resulting in the ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash of Oracle VM VirtualBox.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 6.1.16, update to version 6.1.16 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.
