CVE-2018-2831: 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 5.1.36 and Prior to 5.2.10. 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. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 3.8 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-2831 is a local Oracle VM VirtualBox vulnerability that could let a logged-in low-privileged user read some VirtualBox-accessible data. The reported impact is confidentiality only, with a CVSS 3.0 score of 3.8. It matters mainly where older VirtualBox hosts are shared or exposed to untrusted local users. Exposure is limited to systems running Oracle VM VirtualBox before 5.1.36 or 5.2.10 where an attacker already has local logon to the infrastructure executing VirtualBox. Shared developer, lab, build, or virtualization hosts are more relevant than isolated single-user systems. Treat this as low urgency unless old VirtualBox is used on shared hosts or by untrusted local users. Prioritize routine patching and removal of obsolete VirtualBox versions, with higher attention for systems handling sensitive data or used by many users. Mitigation focus: Upgrade VirtualBox to 5.1.36, 5.2.10, or a later supported release.; Review Oracle CPU April 2018 guidance for the applicable supported branch.; Apply Gentoo GLSA-201805-08 packages where Gentoo systems are in scope..
