Description

This update provides the upstream 6.1.20 maintenance release that fixes
at least the following security vulnerabilities:

A difficult to exploit vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox
(component: Core) prior to 6.1.20 allows high 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 (CVE-2021-2145, CVE-2021-2309, CVE-2021-2310).

An easily exploitable vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox
(component: Core) prior to 6.1.20 allows high 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 (CVE-2021-2250).

An easily exploitable vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox
(component: Core) prior to 6.1.20 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 as well as unauthorized access to critical
data or complete access to all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data 
(CVE-2021-2264).
