Guys, I apologize for not having better information on the upstream commit. I don't have an oracle account and the advisory/patch table gives very little information.

Alright... I fail to find a patch for this. If anyone can provide a link to the VCS commit that includes a fix, I'd appreciate that very much.

http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2012-0111 shows that
* cpe:/a:oracle:virtualization:4.1
* cpe:/a:oracle:vm_virtualbox:4.1
are vulnerable.  https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog shows that VirtualBox 4.1.8 (released 2011-12-19) is available.  Is 4.1.8 vulnerable?

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpujan2012-366304.html#AppendixOVIR shows 3 CVE#s: CVE-2012-0105, CVE-2012-0111, and CVE-2011-3571 that effect this issue.  The RETIRED: Oracle January 2012 Critical Patch Update Multiple Vulnerabilities at http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/51410/discuss shows that all 3 CVE#s are addressed. "Oracle has released advance notification regarding the January 2012 Critical Patch Update (CPU) to be released on January 17, 2012. The update addresses 78 vulnerabilities"  I hope this supports that 4.1.8 is not vulnerable.

4.1.8 is not affected. Debian contacted upstream to verify:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659950#10

=app-emulation/virtualbox-4.1.8 and =app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-4.1.8 are being stabilized in bug 403441.
