  - Add patch to limit number of simultaneous make jobs.

  - Version bump to 5.1.8 (released 2016-10-18 by Oracle)     This is a maintenance release. The following items were     fixed and/or added: GUI: fixed keyboard shortcut     handling regressions (Mac OS X hosts only; bugs #15937     and #15938) GUI: fixed keyboard handling regression for     separate UI (Windows hosts only; bugs #15928) NAT: don't     exceed the maximum number of 'search' suffixes. Patch     from bug #15948. NAT: fixed parsing of port-forwarding     rules with a name which contains a slash (bug #16002)     NAT Network: when the host has only loopback nameserver     that cannot be mapped to the guests (e.g. dnsmasq     running on 127.0.1.1), make DHCP supply NAT Network DNS     proxy as nameserver. Bridged Network: prevent flooding     syslog with packet allocation error messages (bug     #15569) Audio: now using Audio Queues on Mac OS X hosts     Audio: fixed recording with the PulseAudio backend (5.1     regression) Audio: various bugfixes Snapshots: fixed     regression in 5.1.4 for deleting snapshots with several     disks (bug #15831) Snapshots: crash fix and better error     reporting when snapshot deletion failed Storage: some     fixes for the NVMe emulation with Windows guests API:
    fixed initialization of SAS controllers (bug #15972)     Build system: make it possible to build VBox on systems     which default to Python 3 Windows Additions / VGA: if     the guest's power management turns a virtual screen off,     blank the corresponding VM window rather than hide the     window Windows Additions: fixed a generic bug which     could lead to freezing shared folders (bug #15662) Linux     hosts / guests: fix for kernels with     CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK set (bug #16020) Linux     Additions: don't require all virtual consoles be in text     mode. This should fix cases when the guest is booted     with a graphical boot screen (bug #15683) Linux     Additions: added depmod overrides for the vboxguest and     vboxsf kernel modules to fix conflicts with modules     shipped by certain Linux distributions X11 Additions:
    disable 3D on the guest if the host does not provide     enough capabilities (bug #15860) 

  - Builds keep running out of memory when building the web     server part of the package. To help the memory pressure,     I have forced make to run with '-j2', rather than use     the number of processors. Such a change will slow the     build, but will result in a higher rate of success.

  - Increase memory allowed in build to 10000 MB.

  - Remove file 'fix_removal_of_DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE' -     fixed upstream.

  - Version bump to 5.1.6 (released 2016-09-12 by Oracle)     This is a maintenance release.

  - Add file 'fix_removal_of_DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE' to     compile on kernel 4.8.

This update for virtualbox fixes the following issues :

  - The version has been updated from 5.1.8 to 5.1.12.
    Upstream fixed various functional and security issues.

  - Multiple security issues have been fixed that could     cause DoS and possibly privilege escalation     (CVE-2016-5501,CVE-2016-5538,CVE-2016-5605,CVE-2016-5608     ,CVE-2016-5610, CVE-2016-5611,CVE-2016-561313,     boo#1005621)

  - A security warning regarding USB passthru has been     added. It will be shown only the first time virtualbox     is started. (bnc#1018340)

  - Reverted a previously introduced user interface scaling     change, because it caused problems     (https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/521520-Virtu     alBox-interface-scaling, bsc#1014694)

The version of the Oracle VM VirtualBox application installed on the remote host is 5.0.x prior to 5.0.28 or 5.1.x prior to 5.1.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Core     subcomponent that allow a local attacker to gain     elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-5501, CVE-2016-5538)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the VirtualBox Remote     Desktop Extension (VRDE) subcomponent that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact     confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2016-5605)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Core     subcomponent that allow a local attacker to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5608,     CVE-2016-5613)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Core subcomponent that     allows a local attacker to impact on integrity and     availability. (CVE-2016-5610)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Core subcomponent that     allows a local attacker to disclose sensitive     information. (CVE-2016-5611)

  - A flaw exists in the OpenSSL subcomponent, specifically     within the ssl_parse_clienthello_tlsext() function in     t1_lib.c due, to improper handling of overly large OCSP     Status Request extensions from clients. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via     large OCSP Status Request extensions, to exhaust memory     resources, resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2016-6304)

  - Modify virtualbox-guest-preamble and     virtualbox-host-preamble to obsolete old versions of the     kernel modules. This change should fix the problem in     (boo#983629).
