Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component in Oracle Virtualization 4.1 allows local users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Windows Guest Additions.

VirtualBox was updated to 4.1.22 stable release, bringing lots of security and also bugfixes.

The 4.1.22 release is brought to all openSUSE distributions to align their versions.

The version of Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.1.x installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than version 4.1.8 and is, therefore, affected by two unspecified local vulnerabilities. 

These vulnerabilities take advantage of shared folders and Windows Guest Additions that a local attacker could use to access and modify data that is accessible by Oracle VM VirtualBox.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201204-01 (VirtualBox: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities have been discovered in VirtualBox.
      Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A local attacker may be able to gain escalated privileges via unknown       attack vectors.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
