Debian DSA-3359-1 : virtualbox - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 85915

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

This update fixes an unspecified security issue in VirtualBox related to guests using bridged networking via WiFi. Oracle no longer provides information on specific security vulnerabilities in VirtualBox. To still support users of the already released Debian releases we've decided to update these to the respective 4.1.40 and 4.3.30 bugfix releases.

Solution

Upgrade the virtualbox packages.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 4.1.40-dfsg-1+deb7u1.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 4.3.30-dfsg-1+deb8u1.
