    Thomas Biege of SUSE discovered multiple vulnerabilities:
    </p>
    <ul><li>A shell metacharacter injection in popen() (CVE-2009-3692) and
    a possible buffer overflow in strncpy() in the VBoxNetAdpCtl
    configuration tool.</li>
    <li>An unspecified vulnerability in VirtualBox
    Guest Additions (CVE-2009-3940).</li>

  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A local, unprivileged attacker with the permission to run VirtualBox
    could gain root privileges. A guest OS local user could cause a Denial
    of Service (memory consumption) on the guest OS via unknown vectors.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
