Oracle has released a corrective update for the virtualization system VirtualBox 7.1.4, which includes 9 fixes:
- Initial support for kernel 6.12 has been added to the extensions for guest systems with Linux, with the release expected at the end of November.

- The ability to automatically update extensions for guest systems with Linux for ARM is now available through the Devices menu.
- In the VMSVGA driver, issues causing screen flickering, black screens, and display update disruptions on systems with Linux kernel 6.4 and newer have been resolved.
- In the address translator, the issue with restoring the state of environments created in VirtualBox 7.0.X has been fixed.
- In VBoxManage, the commands 'list vms' and 'showvminfo' now function properly for unavailable entities. of virtual machines.
- In the extensions for Windows hosts, issues with checking the size of system DLLs when using Windows 11 24H2 and Insider Preview builds have been resolved.
- For systems with EFI, the missing driver for LsiLogic MPT SCSI has been added, resolving boot issues for devices attached to storage based on this controller.
- Network boot support has been restored in EFI.
In addition to these changes, the new version fixes 5 vulnerabilities with a maximum danger level of 7.5. Details about the vulnerabilities are not disclosed. In the VirtualBox 7.0.x branch, vulnerabilities were fixed in release 7.0.22.
