Description:
Tobias Stefan Richter has identified a vulnerability in vbox3, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The problem is that the included vboxgetty program doesn't drop permissions correctly before calling a user's tcl script. This can be exploited to gain escalated privileges via a specially crafted tcl script.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.1.7 and prior.
