<pre wrap="">Virtualbox lets any local user create and configure network interfaces (vboxnet*), and also send and receive traffic through them. It also lets users bridge their VMs to other network interfaces. Normally, such operations are reserved for users with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for a good reason. Such actions can be used to disrupt other users' communications, capture their network traffic and even perform MITM attacks against them.</pre>

THanks for this bug report. After your bug report, I went and
checked the number of setuid binaries and there are many.<br>
<br>
We should contain these to a single user/group (like in libvirt
does). That should be a good start.<br>
