CVE-2017-10209: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core).

Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). The supported version that is affected is Prior to 5.1.24. 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. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 5.2 (Confidentiality and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:L).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-10209 affects Oracle VM VirtualBox before 5.1.24. A logged-in, low-privileged local user could access some VirtualBox data without authorization and cause a partial service disruption. It is not described as remotely exploitable, and the provided sources do not show active exploitation. Exposure is limited to environments running Oracle VM VirtualBox before 5.1.24 where low-privileged users can log on to the host or infrastructure executing VirtualBox. Shared workstations, lab systems, developer hosts, and multi-user virtualization hosts deserve inventory attention. Treat this as a moderate-priority legacy virtualization risk. It requires local access, which limits reach, but shared systems could expose VirtualBox data or experience partial disruption. Patch or retire old VirtualBox installations during normal vulnerability remediation, faster where many users share the host. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Oracle VM VirtualBox to 5.1.24 or a currently supported fixed release.; Review Oracle CPU July 2017 guidance for vendor-confirmed remediation details.; Restrict local logon access on systems running VirtualBox..
