CVE-2017-3587: Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Shared Folder).

Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component of Oracle Virtualization (subcomponent: Shared Folder). 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 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. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 8.4 (Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:H).

Security readout for executives and security teams

This VirtualBox shared-folder flaw lets a logged-in, low-privileged local attacker corrupt or remove critical data accessible to VirtualBox and crash the product. It is not a remote internet-facing issue, but it matters on shared workstations, build hosts, lab machines, or desktops where untrusted users can log in. Exposure is most likely on hosts running outdated VirtualBox 5.0.x or 5.1.x builds, especially where shared folders are used and non-admin users can log on to the VirtualBox host or guest infrastructure. Treat this as high priority for environments with shared VirtualBox hosts or untrusted local users. It is less urgent than a remote network exploit, but the possible data modification and complete denial of service impacts justify timely patch verification. Mitigation focus: Upgrade VirtualBox to 5.0.38, 5.1.20, or a later supported release.; Review Oracle CPU April 2017 guidance for applicable platform details.; Restrict local logon access on systems running VirtualBox..
