Oracle released VirtualBox 7.2.10 on June 16, 2026, another maintenance build in the 7.2 branch. There are no headline features here. The goal is to improve stability and fix regressions that had crept into earlier releases. It is the latest VirtualBox version available right now.
The 7.2 branch now counts six releases. Per Oracle’s own news page: 7.2.0 (August 14, 2025), 7.2.2 (September 10, 2025), 7.2.4 (October 21, 2025), 7.2.6 (January 20, 2026), 7.2.8 (April 21, 2026) and now 7.2.10. Coming from 7.2.8, this update lands almost two months later.
What it fixes
The fixes are spread across several subsystems. The most visible one touches the VMM: a CentOS 10 VM could refuse to boot with the error Fatal glibc error: CPU does not support x86-64-v3. That failure is now resolved, so CentOS 10 guests start normally again.
On the EFI side, booting is fixed for ARM VMs configured with less than 1024 MiB of RAM, which could previously hang at startup. In USB, Oracle fixes the inability to attach USB devices to a headless VM on Apple Silicon running macOS 26.4.1, a specific problem for anyone working without a GUI on Mac hosts with Apple’s own silicon.
The storage section adjusts the VIRTIO-SCSI device, which is now correctly recognized as an SSD from inside the guest. In networking, the E1000 card emulation gets two fixes: one that created unwanted debug logs, and another that stopped OS/2 guests from booting.
Guest Additions
The Linux Guest Additions add initial Extended Data Control Protocol support for clipboard sharing with Plasma on Wayland guests, plus kernel module build fixes for version 7.0 and newer. On OS/2, shared folders automount and clipboard sharing are restored after they had stopped working.
If you want the detail on recent kernel support that arrived with this same release, see our article on the initial Linux 7.1 kernel support.
Who should care
This release targets anyone using VirtualBox for desktop virtualization: developers testing distributions in virtual machines, people maintaining legacy OS/2 guests, Mac users on Apple Silicon who rely on headless mode, and anyone running ARM VMs with little RAM. It is not an urgent security update, but if any of these bugs hit you, it is worth updating. Downloads are on virtualbox.org for Linux, Solaris, macOS and Windows.
