can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service
(partial DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox (CVE-2019-2926).

An easily exploitable vulnerability 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 unauthorized ability
to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle VM
VirtualBox as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some
of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data and unauthorized read access to a
subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data (CVE-2019-2944).

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-2019-3017).

An easily exploitable vulnerability 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.
