Oracle shipped VirtualBox 7.2.10 on June 16, 2026 with fixes across VMM, EFI, USB, storage, network and Guest Additions. It is the latest available release of the 7.2 branch.

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](/en/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](/en/virtualbox-7-2-10-soporte-inicial-linux-kernel-7-1).

## 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.
