Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component in Oracle Virtualization VirtualBox before 3.2.24, 4.0.26, 4.1.34, 4.2.26, and 4.3.12 allows local users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Core.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox component in Oracle Virtualization VirtualBox before 3.2.24, 4.0.26, 4.1.34, 4.2.26, and 4.3.14, when running on Windows, allows local users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Core, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-4261.

It was found that a guest can DoS a host by triggering an infinite loop in microcode. If a guest in 32-bit mode enabled alignment exceptions, puts the exception handler in ring 3, and then triggers an alignment exception with an unaligned stack, then the microcode will enter an infinite loop. Because there's no instruction boundary the core never receives another interrupt (including SMIs). The host kernel panics pretty quickly due to the effects.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in DoS.
