Description:

This update for virtualbox fixes the following issues:

VirtualBox 7.0.10 (released July 18 2023)

This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:

- OCI: Introduced general improvements
- VMM: Fixed a bug while walking page tables while executing nested VMs
causing flooding of the release log as a consequence (Intel hosts only,
bug #21551)
- GUI: Added general improvements
- TPM: Fixed a crash when a VM has a TPM version 1.2 configured (bug
#21622)
- 3D: Initial support for OpenGL 4.1
- 3D: Fixed various graphics issues with Windows 11 guests (bugs #21136,
#21515)
- Guest Control/VBoxManage: Fixed parameter "--ignore-orphaned-processes"
- Guest Control/VBoxManage: Fixed behavior of how handling argument 0 for
a started guest process works: One can now explicitly specify it with
the newly added option "--arg0". This will effectively restore the
behavior of former VirtualBox versions
- Audio: Also use the PulseAudio backend when pipewire-pulse is running
instead of falling back to ALSA (bug #21575)
- NAT: Adjusted UDP proxy timeout from 18-21 to 21-24 range to respect
intended 20 second timeout (bug #21560)
- Linux Host: Added initial support for Indirect Branch Tracking (bug
#21435)
- Linux Host: Added initial support for kernel 6.5 (NOTE: Guest Additions
do not support kernel 6.5 yet)
- Linux Host and Guest: Improved condition check when kernel modules need
to be signed
- Linux Host and Guest: Added initial support for RHEL 8.8 (bug #21692),
8.9 (bug #21690) and 9.3 (bugs #21598 and #21671) kernels
- Linux Guest Additions: Fixed issue when kernel modules were rebuilt on
each boot when guest system has no X11 installed
- Linux Guest Additions: Added initial support for kernel 6.4
- Linux Guest Additions: Fixed issue when vboxvideo module reloading
caused kernel panic in some guests (bug #21740)
- Linux Guest Additions: Introduced general improvements in the installer
area
- Windows Guest Additions: Introduced general improvements in graphics
drivers area
- Fix issue with kernel on newer CPU (boo#1212209)

- Turn build of VBoxSDL back on. This update addresses boo#1211941.
