Running testing means you have to expect this sort of thing.
People forget that near the end of each release cycle, when
testing is relatively quiet and nearly ready to become stable.

Running unstable is worse, but more people pay attention to the
name. Perhaps testing should be renamed 'wobbly' or 'squishy'.

If you are running a computer for purposes which are critical to
you, stable is what you want.

In any case, you seem to have answered your own question: Oracle
is the supplier of virtualbox. If you don't trust them, there
are many fine alternatives to virtualbox, most of which are
built on the  work of kvm, qemu or Xen.
