Description
On a RHEL-6.4 host with VB version 3.1.8r61349, the Host (RHEL-6.4) keeps crashing randomly. The frequency is 2/3 crashes per week. This seems to happen when 2 guest VM's are communicating (This is some basic heartbeats - udp). And the crash is in the vboxdrv module.
As the VM core is huge (~17G) im attaching the BT. We had raised this issue with RHEL team, and after debugging the issue, they pointed it to be a bug with virtualbox driver bug. Attaching their analysis too.
You can find the RHEL ticket here: https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/01035356 Case Title : RHEL 6.4 hosts crash when VirtualBox 3.1.8 is used Case Number : 01035356 Case Open Date : 2014-02-05 13:29:21

VBox 3.1.8 is no longer supported. Please upgrade to VBox 4.3.6.

What would be more useful and informative is if there was any such issues with vboxdrv, and is there any EV number which is marked as fixed in the later releases.
Can you please provide me the EV number and the VB release in which it got closed?
We cannot migrate to the latest VB release as 127.* n/w traffic doesnt flow out of the guest, which is working till VB version 3.1.8, which is stopping us from migrating to the latest release. We can try and patch the fix from the later releases to vbdrv of release 3.1.8
