Thomas Biege of SUSE discovered multiple vulnerabilities:

<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>

</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-3.0.12"</code>
<p>
All users of the Open Source version of VirtualBox should upgrade to
