These security issues were fixed (bsc#1034854):

  • CVE-2017-3561: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
    Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). 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.
  • CVE-2017-3563: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
    Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). 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.
  • CVE-2017-3576: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
    Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). 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.
  • CVE-2017-3587: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
    Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Shared Folder). 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
    unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data
    or all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data and unauthorized ability to
    cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle VM
    VirtualBox.
  • CVE-2017-3575: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
    Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). Easily exploitable
    vulnerability allows high 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
    unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data
    or all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data and unauthorized ability to
    cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle VM
    VirtualBox.
  • CVE-2017-3538: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
    Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Shared Folder). 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 of this vulnerability can result in
    unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data
    or all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data as well as unauthorized
    access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle VM VirtualBox
    accessible data.
  • CVE-2017-3513: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
    Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). Difficult to exploit
    vulnerability allows high 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
    unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible
    data.
  • CVE-2017-3558: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
    Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). Easily exploitable
    vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the
    infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle
    VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in
    unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash
    (complete DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox as well as unauthorized update,
    insert or delete access to some of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data
    and unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox
    accessible data.
  • CVE-2017-3559: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of
    Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). 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
    unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash
    (complete DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox as well as unauthorized update,
    insert or delete access to some of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data
    and unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox
    accessible data.
