Title:
[SRU] Please sync vbox modules from virtualbox 6.0.6 on next kernel
update
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in linux source package in Disco:
In Progress
Bug description:
[SRU Justification]
Impact: The virtualbox package was updated in disco just prior to
release, with numerous bug fixes. It is standard practice during
development to sync our in-kernel source with the latest version of
the virtualbox-guest-dkms package, however this upload was done so
late in the release that there was not time to update the source in
our kernel tree.
Fix: Re-sync the vbox guest dkms drivers from virtualbox 6.0.6-dfsg-1.
Regression Potential: This is a sync from the dkms package in the
disco-release pocket, thus the code has presumably been tested against
the Ubuntu Disco kernel. However, this is a very large pile of
changes, and contains more than just bug fixes, so regressions are
possible.
Test Case: Boot a kernel with the updated driver in virtualbox and
confirm that the guest drier functionality works as expected.
---
* the changes are already in disco (vbox-guest-dkms), and they are fixes for
the kernel 5.0.
They might seem a lot of changes, but they are needed, and probably some of
them are even CVE fixes...
As said, vbox 6.0.6 includes lots of fixes for host/guest kernel modules, and
they should be syncd when possible.
thanks
