Package: virtualbox Version: 5.1.26-dfsg-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
when creating VMs, each with a NatNetwork NIC, the VMs can happily talk to each other but network access beyond the virtualbox host is not possible. Conventional NAT mode is not affected and works perfeclty fine. Fix: # chmod u+s /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxNetNAT …and kill off possibly lingering VBoxNetNAT processes and restart the VMs --> network access beyond the vbox host should work now. I just confirmed that the generic linux installer package from virtualbox.org installs the VBoxNetNAT binary as suid.
