Descriptions

Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox product of Oracle Virtualization (component: Core). The supported version that is affected is Prior to 6.1.20. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. While the vulnerability is in Oracle VM VirtualBox, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.3 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).

Una vulnerabilidad en el producto Oracle VM VirtualBox de Oracle Virtualization (componente: Core). La versión compatible que está afectada es la versiones anteriores a la 6.1.20. Una vulnerabilidad difícil de explotar permite a un atacante muy privilegiado con inicio de sesión en la infraestructura donde se ejecuta Oracle VM VirtualBox comprometer a Oracle VM VirtualBox. Mientras la vulnerabilidad está en Oracle VM VirtualBox, los ataques pueden afectar significativamente a productos adicionales. Los ataques con éxito de esta vulnerabilidad pueden resultar en un acceso no autorizado a datos críticos o acceso completo a todos los datos accesibles de Oracle VM VirtualBox. CVSS 3.1 Puntuación Base 5.3 (Impactos en la Confidencialidad). Vector CVSS: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N)

This vulnerability allows local attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Oracle VirtualBox. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target guest system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the LsiLogic virtual device. The issue results from the lack of proper locking when performing operations on an object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the hypervisor.
