VirtualBox 7.1.12 is a maintenance release that addresses various issues, including a resolution for Guru Meditation, NAT problems, potential kernel panic, BSOD when closing the GUI, enhancements in driver installation, support for exposing AVX/AVX2 to the guest while using Hyper-V, recording issues, and further fixes to ensure compatibility with kernel 6.16. This also resolves issues related to rcvboxadd status—the kernel reporting an incorrect status, the inability of VBoxClient to start, and an incorrect udev rule.
