+ Thomas Biege of SUSE discovered multiple vulnerabilities:
+ </p>
+ <ul><li>A shell metacharacter injection in popen() (CVE-2009-3692) and
+ a possible buffer overflow in strncpy() in the VBoxNetAdpCtl
+ configuration tool.</li>
+ <li>An unspecified vulnerability in VirtualBox
+ Guest Additions (CVE-2009-3940).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local, unprivileged attacker with the permission to run VirtualBox
+ could gain root privileges. A guest OS local user could cause a Denial
+ of Service (memory consumption) on the guest OS via unknown vectors.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All users of the binary version of VirtualBox should upgrade to the
+ latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-3.0.12"</code>
+ <p>
+ All users of the Open Source version of VirtualBox should upgrade to
+ the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-3.0.12"</code>
+ <p>
+ All users of the binary VirtualBox Guest Additions should upgrade to
