6.1.36 (2022-07-19) is most recent, at the time of writing. <https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-6.1#v36> Thanks
I'm already working on this. I have patches almost ready and will also include bug #261729 with the update. While this update to VirtualBox is an easy one and no breakage came out in testing, please note that properly testing this port requires at least two days, also accounting for build time of it and its dependencies.

I'll also merge this update to quarterly due to the security advisories.

Update committed and merged to quarterly. Thanks for reporting!
(In reply to Guido Falsi from comment #5) Thank you! Incidentally, I didn't intend to rush the update; I was advised that it's customary to have a separate and dependent bug for an update, where an update addresses a vulnerability.
(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #6) Sorry, maybe my reply came out harsher than I intended. Maybe I misunderstood your message. I felt the need to convey that even when an update works fine by just updating the PORTVERSION, it still requires some time for proper testing. Anyway the update was already underway.
On 13.1 amd64 emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions build freezes on process "ar" if devel/nasm isn't installed.
(In reply to VVD from comment #8) Curiously enough this is not happening in poudriere, but the log has a line `nasm: not found` in it. It was difficult to spot though and not a critical error. The freeze could be caused due to an interaction with some other port present on the system though. Reopening this to address this issue, maybe adding nasm as a dependency would be correct, but I'd like to understand why it is required, or if it is optional.

(In reply to VVD from comment #10) Ok I was not getting the full picture. The error is happening while building inside the VM. Based on your indication that installing nasm makes it work I can conjecture: Virtualbox depends on yasm, and so usually builds with that. But it looks like yasm is causing ar to hang on your machine. It is quite possible that virtualbox build system prefers nasm when found, and maybe nasm is doing something different that allows ar to complete successfully. I'm at a loss to understand why the difference, but switching assembler for all user is too dangerous without some clear indication on what is going on. While I can't see an indication of low memory, have you tried assigning your VM more memory just in case? Since you have tested it, the additions compiled with nasm worked fine for you?
BTW I'll be away for a pair of weeks. I will try to followup anyway, but I can be slow and my ability to test things while away will be greatly reduced, so it can take me some time to figure this one out.
(In reply to Guido Falsi from comment #11) All tests with 1 core CPU. 4GB, 1GB, 768MB - build without nasm and without freezes. 640MB freezed without nasm, top: last pid: 3515; load averages: 0,58, 0,60, 0,52 up 0+00:20:53 21:49:55 50 processes: 2 running, 47 sleeping, 1 waiting CPU: 0,0% user, 0,0% nice, 0,0% system, 0,0% interrupt, 100% idle Mem: 73M Active, 322M Inact, 173M Wired, 60M Buf, 17M Free Swap: 4096M Total, 4096M Free With nasm build fine even with 256MB. P.S. Version compiled with nasm work fine for me.
(In reply to VVD from comment #13) Maybe simply yasm requires more memory. I would not cathegorize this as a bug. I'm not very keen on changing the default for a port working fine, with the risk of discovering runtime issues. Definitely not without extensive testing. I'd close this at this point. If you'd like to make a motion to exchange nasm for yasm please file a separate bug report asking for that, you could also attach patches, I guess you just need to modify RUN_DEPENDS. Such a change needs a little discussion, evaluation and also trying to understand upstream preference maybe.
(In reply to Guido Falsi from comment #14) Lets try to explore and find root of the issue. Maybe together with yasm's MAINTAINER=johnson.peter.
