CVE-2017-3576: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core).

Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Core). Supported versions that are affected are Prior to 5.0.38 and Prior to 5.1.20. 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 takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 8.8 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Oracle VM VirtualBox installations can be taken over by a low-privileged logged-in attacker. The issue is local, not described as remotely exploitable, but successful compromise has high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and may affect related products. Exposure is most likely on endpoints, lab systems, CI hosts, or virtualization infrastructure still running VirtualBox older than 5.0.38 or 5.1.20. The prerequisite is local logon to the system where VirtualBox executes. Treat as high priority where VirtualBox is installed on shared, developer, CI, or sensitive systems. The business urgency depends on whether untrusted or broad user populations can log on locally. Mitigation focus: Upgrade VirtualBox to 5.0.38, 5.1.20, or a later supported release.; Review Oracle CPU April 2017 guidance for vendor-specific remediation details.; Restrict local logon rights on systems running VirtualBox..
