DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Oracle VM VirtualBox, which
can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose potentially
sensitive information, manipulate certain data, and cause a DoS
(Denial of Service).

1) An unspecified error in the Windows Guest Additions component can
be exploited by local users to read, update, insert, or delete
certain Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data and cause a DoS.

2) An unspecified error in the Shared Folders component can be
exploited by local users to read, update, insert, or delete certain
Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 4.1.

SOLUTION:
Apply updates (please see the vendor's advisory for details).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
It is currently unclear who reported the vulnerabilities as the
Oracle Critical Patch Update for January 2012 only provides a bundled
list of credits. This section will be updated when/if the original
reporters provide more information.
