Oracle has published a corrective release of the VirtualBox 7.0.6 virtualization system, which notes 14 fixes. At the same time, an update to the previous branch of VirtualBox 6.1.42 was formed with 15 changes, including support for Linux 6.1 and 6.2 kernels, as well as kernels from RHEL 8.7/9.1/9.2, Fedora (5.17.7-300), SLES 15.4 and Oracle Linux 8 .
Major changes in VirtualBox 7.0.6:
- Additions for Linux-based hosts and guests include support for the kernel from the RHEL 9.1 distribution and initial support for the UEK7 (Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 7 ) kernel from Oracle Linux 8.
- The Linux Guest Additions added initial support for building the vboxvideo driver for the Linux 6.2 kernel.
- Problems with starting the FreeBSD bootloader on systems with older Intel CPUs that do not support "VMX Unrestricted Guest" mode have been resolved in the Virtual Machine Manager.
