VirtualBox 5.2.14 (Build 123301) is available for download

Oracle has released VirtualBox 5.2 Maintenance Release 14 (Version 5.2.14 Build 123301) for Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris.

This release includes a number of improvements and bug fixes from Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.2. The following issues were fixed:

• User interface: fixed a segmentation fault when accessing the interface through VNC.
• User interface: X11: handle repeating keys on the host system correctly.
• VMM: Fixed emulation of the undocumented SALC instruction.
• VMM: Fixed emulation of so-called "huge unreal mode" this in practice only affected Intel CPUs with VT-x without unrestricted execution.
• Keyboard: The PS/2 keyboard emulation has been corrected to not queue partial scan code sequences this problem was likely only visible on Linux hosts due to losing the fix for bug.
• Storage: Fixed CUE file support to correct REM keyword parsing.
• USB: Fixed a problem where the emulated xHCI device under very rare circumstances failed to report an empty isochronous transfer ring error, causing the transfers on the corresponding endpoint to stop.
• Audio: fixed Linux kernel log flooding.
• Apple hosts: make kernel driver load with Mac OS Mojave pre-release.
• 
  
• Linux guests: made vboxvideo driver build with kernel 4.17 and with pre-3.14 and EL 7.1 kernels.
