Download VirtualBox 7.0.8

Oracle has released the fourth update for VirtualBox version 7.0. VirtualBox can be used to install other operating systems in a virtual environment on a computer. This makes it possible to use different operating systems on the same hardware side by side and at the same time. VirtualBox is available for Windows, macOS, Linux and Solaris, and is capable of various guest operating systems to turn. New in version 7.0 is that Windows 11 is now officially supported. The changes made in version 7.0.8 are listed below:

• VMM: Fixed EFLAGS.TF handling for CPUID instructions when Hyper-V is used (bug #17961)
• VMM: Fixed MONITOR/MWAIT crash with Solaris guests when Hyper-V is used on Windows 11
• VMM: Introduced general improvements in nested visualization area
• VMM: Fixed triple fault related guru meditations for UEFI guests starting with macOS Ventura 13.3 (bug #21563)
• GUI: Brought back Restore current snapshot checkbox or Close VM dialog (bugs #21189, #21491)

• Main/UefiVariableStore: Added API to add signatures to the MOK list (Machine Owner Key)
• VBoxManage: Introduced modifynvram enrollmok sub-command to enroll Machine Owner Key into NVRAM, so Linux guest kernel can pick it up in order to verify signature of modules signed with this key
• Guest Control/Main: Fixed deleting files via built-in toolbox
• Linux host: Added possibility to bypass kernel modules signature verification once VBOX_BYPASS_MODULES_SIGNATURE_CHECK=”1″ is specified in /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg, useful in case if Linux distribution does not provide necessary tools to verify kernel module signature
• Linux Guest Additions and host Installer: Improved detection if system is running systemd as the init process
• Linux Guest Additions and host drivers: Introduce initial support for kernel 6.3
• Linux Guest Additions: Added possibility to bypass kernel modules signature verification once VBOX_BYPASS_MODULES_SIGNATURE_CHECK=”1″ is specified in /etc/virtualbox-guest-additions.conf, useful in case if Linux distribution does not provide necessary tools to verify kernel module signature
