VirtualBox 7.0.8

VirtualBox

VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x and 4.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, and OpenBSD.

Some of the features of VirtualBox are:

Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox.
Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

VirtualBox 7.0.8 changelog:

VMM: Fixed EFLAGS.TF handling for CPUID instructions when Hyper-V is used (bug #17961)
VMM: Fixed MONITOR/MWAIT crash with Solaris guests when Hyper-V is used on Windows 11
VMM: Introduced general improvements in nested visualization area
VMM: Fixed triple fault related guru meditations for UEFI guests starting with macOS Ventura 13.3 (bug #21563)
GUI: Brought back Restore current snapshot checkbox of Close VM dialog (bugs #21189, #21491)
GUI: Fixes and validation for VM settings USB filters editor, filter port value is now properly saved/restored
GUI: Fixes for VM name and OS type embedded editors of Details pane
GUI: Cloud related wizards should now propose enabled profiles before disabled
Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack: Fixed shipping the cryptographic support module for full VM encryption
E1000: Fixed possible guru meditation when changing network attachments (bug #21488)
virtio-net: Follow up fixes for FreeBSD 12.3 and pfSense 2.6.0 (bug #21201)
3D: Fixed various graphics issues with Windows 7 guests (bugs #21129, #21196, #21208, #21521)
Main/UefiVariableStore: Added API to add signatures to the MOK list (Machine Owner Key)
VBoxManage: Introduced modifynvram enrollmok sub-command to enroll Machine Owner Key into NVRAM, so Linux guest kernel can pick it up in order to verify signature of modules signed with this key
Guest Control/Main: Fixed deleting files via built-in toolbox
Linux host: Added possibility to bypass kernel modules signature verification once VBOX_BYPASS_MODULES_SIGNATURE_CHECK="1" is specified in /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg, useful in case if Linux distribution does not provide necessary tools to verify kernel module signature
Linux Guest Additions and host Installer: Improved detection if system is running systemd as the init process
Linux Guest Additions and host drivers: Introduce initial support for kernel 6.3
Linux Guest Additions: Added possibility to bypass kernel modules signature verification once VBOX_BYPASS_MODULES_SIGNATURE_CHECK="1" is specified in /etc/virtualbox-guest-additions.conf, useful in case if Linux distribution does not provide necessary tools to verify kernel module signature
Linux Guest Additions: Added experimental support for kernel modules and user services reloading in the end of installation process, thus guest system reboot after Guest Additions (7.0.8 and newer) upgrade is no longer required in general case
Linux Guest Additions: Fixed vboxvideo build issue with RHEL 8.7, 9.1 and 9.2 kernels (bugs #21446 and #21450)
