Description Yuan Liao (Leo3418) 2022-03-29 22:28:05 UTC 
The VirtualBox 6.1.32 packages were added more than 2 months ago; although there have been some small formatting and QA fixes to the ebuilds ever since, the last change was done about 15 days ago, which has been a while considering that change's significance.

Version 6.1.32 inherits support added in 6.1.30 for headers of the recent Linux kernels (namely 5.15+).  As ~sys-kernel/linux-headers-5.15 has already been stabilized, users are likely to run into bug 835023 or alike when they build an older version of VirtualBox that does not support the newer headers.

In that bug ticket, more than one user has reported that build issues with 6.1.28 could be fixed by using 6.1.32 instead.  Please stabilize 6.1.32 so that both the users need not accept the unstable keyword for the VirtualBox packages merely to get rid of that bug, and the CVE in the blockees can be resolved.

Thanks!
