referenced in the October 2026 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox product of Oracle Virtualization (component: Core). The
    supported version that is affected is 7.2.20. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged
    attacker with access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware where the 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 takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox. (CVE-2026-87322)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox product of Oracle Virtualization (component: Core). The
    supported version that is affected is 7.2.20. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged
    attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM
    VirtualBox. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox.

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox product of Oracle Virtualization (component: Core). The
    supported version that is affected is 7.2.20. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged
    attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM
    VirtualBox. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while
    the vulnerability is in Oracle VM VirtualBox, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope
    change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox.
