Package        : virtualbox
CVE ID         : CVE-2015-2594

This update fixes an unspecified security issue in VirtualBox related to
guests using bridged networking via WiFi. Oracle no longer provides
information on specific security vulnerabilities in VirtualBox. To still
support users of the already released Debian releases we've decided to
update these to the respective 4.1.40 and 4.3.30 bugfix releases.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed
in version 4.1.40-dfsg-1+deb7u1.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 4.3.30-dfsg-1+deb8u1.

For the testing distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed
in version 4.3.30-dfsg-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 4.3.30-dfsg-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your virtualbox packages.

Hi,

your recommendation has produced bug #798979 and meanwhile 16 e-mails.
Why didn't you restrict these obviously not enough tested changes to distributions other than "stable" and "oldstable" or at least to those users who want to work with WiFi? As for Debian no homebanking programs are available which are able to handle with my RSA-chipcard, I am thrown on Windows under VirtualBox. If a new installation of the VM will be necessary I may be confronted with the loss of all my homebanking data, what an awful idea!
