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-
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
