An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has two
fixes is now available.

Description:

This update for virtualbox fixes the following issues:

- Version bump to 6.1.20 (released April 20 2021 by Oracle) Fixes
boo#1183329 "virtualbox 6.1.18 crashes when it runs nested VM" Fixes
boo#1183125 "Leap 15.3 installation in Virtualbox without VBox
integration" Fixes CVE-2021-2264 and boo#1184542. The directory for the
.start files for autostarting VMs is moved from /etc/vbox to
/etc/vbox/autostart.d. In addition, the autostart service is hardened
(by Oracle).
- change the modalias for guest-tools and guest-x11 to get them to
autoinstall.
- Own %{_sysconfdir}/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d as default packages (eg systemd)
no longer do so, breaking package build.
- Update fixes_for_leap15.3 for kernel API changes between 5.3.18-45 and
5.3.18-47.
- update-extpack.sh: explicitly use https:// protocol for authenticity.
The http:// URL is currently redirected to https:// but don't rely on
this.
- Add code to generate guest modules for Leap 15.2 and Leap 15.3. The
kernel versions do not allow window resizing. Files
"virtualbox-kmp-files-leap" and "vboxguestconfig.sh" are added
- Fixes CVE-2021-2074, boo#1181197 and CVE-2021-2129, boo#1181198.
- Under some circumstances, shared folders are mounted as root.
