This bug could cause a loss of user data: in fact, a crashed session means that all unsaved documents are lost.
Also, this bug could be a serious security issue: in fact, it can be used for Denial Of Service attacks: if a server has at least one unprotected virtual machine (i.e. for test purposes), a malware could try to launch a 64 bit code to be able to crash not only the virtual machine (a crash on a test virtual machine does no harm), but the whole server. This kind of attack could also be unintentional. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071344 Title: 12.04's current virtualbox 4.1.12 crashes (reboots) 32-bit host on running 64-bit guests, please upgrade to 4.1.18+ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/virtualbox/+bug/1071344/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
