- Version update to 5.2.14 (released July 02 2018 by Oracle)
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
User interface: fixed a segmentation fault when accessing the interface through VNC (bug #16348)
User interface: X11: handle repeating keys on the host system correctly (bug #1296, previously fixed, 5.1.0 regression)
VMM: Fixed emulation of the undocumented SALC instruction
VMM: Fixed emulation of so-called "huge unreal mode" (bug #17744); this in practice only affected Intel CPUs with VT-x without unrestricted execution.
Keyboard: The PS/2 keyboard emulation has been corrected to not queue partial scan code sequences (bug #17709); this problem was likely only visible on Linux hosts due to losing the fix for bug #1296
Storage: Fixed CUE file support to correct REM keyword parsing (bug #17783)
USB: Fixed a problem where the emulated xHCI device under very rare circumstances failed to report an empty isochronous transfer ring error, causing the transfers on the corresponding endpoint to stop.
Audio: fixed Linux kernel log flooding (bug #17759)
Apple hosts: make kernel driver load with Mac OS Mojave pre-release (bug #17805).
Linux guests: made vboxvideo driver build with kernel 4.17 (bug #17801) and with pre-3.14 and EL 7.1 kernels (bug #17771)
Removed "fixes_for_4.17.patch" - fixes merged upstream.
- Fix typo in host KMP line.
- Add file "fix_32_bit_builds.patch" to fix error in 32-bit builds.
Add file "switch_to_python3.6.patch" to convert to Python3.
Update warning regarding the security hole in USB passthrough. The text no longer refers
to an old bugzilla entry (bsc#1097248).
Script vboxguestconfig.sh is fixed.
- Use %{?linux_make_arch} when building kernel modules (boo#1098050).
