-  VirtualBox 7.0.10 (released July 18 2023)
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
    OCI: Introduced general improvements
    VMM: Fixed a bug while walking page tables while executing nested VMs causing flooding of the release log as a consequence (Intel hosts only, bug #21551)
    GUI: Added general improvements
    TPM: Fixed a crash when a VM has a TPM version 1.2 configured (bug #21622)
    3D: Initial support for OpenGL 4.1
    3D: Fixed various graphics issues with Windows 11 guests (bugs #21136, #21515)
    Guest Control/VBoxManage: Fixed parameter "--ignore-orphaned-processes"
    Guest Control/VBoxManage: Fixed behavior of how handling argument 0 for a started guest process works: One can now explicitly specify it with the newly added option "--arg0". This will effectively restore the behavior of former VirtualBox versions
    Audio: Also use the PulseAudio backend when pipewire-pulse is running instead of falling back to ALSA (bug #21575)
    NAT: Adjusted UDP proxy timeout from 18-21 to 21-24 range to respect intended 20 second timeout (bug #21560)

Update to version 7.0.8 - fixes a number of CVE issues.

- File "fixes_for_kernel_6.3.patch" is updated for more API changes
  File "fix_7.0.6_locking_problems.patch" is added. Fixes boo#1209529.
    Larry Len Rainey and I have worked on this bug for some time. It only
    happened on systems with large numbers of processors and many virtual
    machines. We suspected a locking problem, but the thought of auditing
    the entire code was daunting until it was discovered that there was no
    problem if the host ran VB 6.1.40. It did not matter what version the
    guests were running. That essentially eliminated every code part except
    for vboxdrv.ko. That made the audit tractable. There were two files and
    a total of 8 places where the locking was suspect. When those were
    changed, the lockups while using 7.0.6 host code were no longer observed.
    The lockups were infrequent, thus it is impossible to say that we have
    fixed everything, but the frequency is clearly diminished.

- Added file "fixes_for_kernel_6.3.patch" to handle API change.
- File "fixes_for_gcc13.patch" updated for additional changes in GCC 13 boo#1207468
  spec-cleaner used to remove extra blank line is spec file.

- Add file "fixes_for_gcc13.patch" to fix builds with GCC13. 

- Remove requires for unused sysvinit-tools

-  Fix a few places that did not get updated for the transition from
   /sbin => /usr/sbin, and /etc/udev => /usr/lib/udev.  boo#1207736.
   ldconfig has not been moved in Leap 15.4 - use /sbin for it.
