This revision from upstream SVN appears to cover it: https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/103024/vbox strlcpy() was removed from Linux Kernel, following discussions by maintainers to begin phasing it out in 2022. Looks like in 6.8 they finally got around to doing that. Usually Oracle does another quarterly release around April, so maybe 7.0.16 by then? But if you're in a rush for running Linux Kernel 6.8, you could try building with the above patch in the meantime.
Whoops -- missed a few links earlier. There's 7 SVN revisions associated with VirtualBox 6.8 in upstream bugref:10584. I'll condense them into a patch.
Created attachment 888904 [details, diff] Squash-of-initial-support-for-kernel-6.8-bugref-10584.patch This compiles/loads with my guest 6.8 kernel. Tested with VIDEO_CARDS="vmware" + mouse/keyboard. Seems to be stable.
