Description

This update provides the virtualbox 5.1.18 maintenance release that
fixes at least the following security issues:

Fixed an easily exploitable vulnerability that allowed unauthenticated
attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox

executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks require
human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the
vulnerability is in Oracle VM VirtualBox, attacks may significantly impact
additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result
in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash
(complete DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox and unauthorized read access to a
subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data (CVE-2018-3055).
