Descriptions

Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox product of Oracle Virtualization (component: Core). Supported versions that are affected are Prior to 7.0.16. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low 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 (scope change). 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 6.5 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).

Vulnerabilidad en el producto Oracle VM VirtualBox de Oracle Virtualization (componente: Core). Las versiones compatibles que se ven afectadas son anteriores a la 7.0.16. Una vulnerabilidad fácilmente explotable permite a un atacante con pocos privilegios iniciar sesión en la infraestructura donde se ejecuta Oracle VM VirtualBox para comprometer Oracle VM VirtualBox. Si bien la vulnerabilidad está en Oracle VM VirtualBox, los ataques pueden afectar significativamente a productos adicionales (cambio de alcance). Los ataques exitosos a esta vulnerabilidad pueden resultar en un acceso no autorizado a datos críticos o un acceso completo a todos los datos accesibles de Oracle VM VirtualBox. CVSS 3.1 Puntaje base 6.5 (Impactos en la confidencialidad). Vector CVSS: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N).

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges 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 virtual OHCI USB controller. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the hypervisor.
