VirtualBox 7.2.8 (released April 21 2026)
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-7.2#v8

This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed or added:

NAT Network: Fixed issue when internal DNS server could not be reached
Graphics: Fixed issue when mouse cursor did not change shape by context in Ubuntu 25.10 / Wayland
Main: Fixed crash on FreeBSD 16.0 shutdown with multiple devices attached to LSI Logic SAS controller
IPRT: Merged Github pull request 503 (fix: infinite loop in vsscanf whitespace processing). github-merge-author: lachlanharrisdev
Unattended: General improvements
Linux Host: Added initial support for kernels 6.19 and 7.0
Linux Host: Added support for guest time accounting
Linux Host and Guest: Introduced additional fixes for RHEL 10.1 and 10.2 kernels
Linux Host and Guest: Added support for UEK9 kernel on Oracle Linux 9
Linux Host and Guest: Added improvements to make 'rcvboxdrv/rcvboxadd setup' and installation process faster
Linux Guest Additions: Deprecated vboxvideo kernel module for kernels 7.0 and newer; please consider using VMSVGA graphics or vboxvideo module which comes with Linux kernel or provided by your Linux distribution if guest running kernel 7.0+; vboxvideo will still be available for older kernels
Linux Guest Additions: Fixed issue when clipboard sharing was not possible in combination of Wayland guest and Windows host
Linux Guest Additions: Fixed issue when last character was not pasted into Windows host clipboard when copying from Wayland guest (bug:22339)

UEFI: Fixed errors with secure boot certificate updates and Windows 11 guests
DMI: Fixed issue when 0.0 value was provided for the BIOS release and BIOS firmware version numbers so Windows did not populate the registry keys under HKLM\HARDWARE\System\BIOS which some components rely on (bug:21943)
