Exploit developer discovers security vulnerability in VirtualBox and publishes a full guide to exploiting it.
Zelenyuk has published full details of the exploit on GitHub, and says that the vulnerability affects VirtualBox 5.2.20 and earlier. The only requirements to take advantage of the vulnerability are that the network card is an Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM), and that VirtualBox is set to NAT mode.
Seems pretty specific, but careful...
