The merge of the version bump in
6fb9f892382b4b091fc9edcae00e2eb4c0729bda didn't take care of our patch
for the hardening mode and thus enabling VirtualBox without also
force-disabling hardening mode will result in a build error.
While the patch is largely identical with the old version, I've removed
one particular change around the following code:
if (pFsObjState->Stat.st_mode & S_IWOTH)
return supR3HardenedSetError3(VERR_SUPLIB_WORLD_WRITABLE, pErrInfo,
"World writable: '", pszPath, "'");
In the old version of the patch we have checked whether the path is
within the Nix store and suppressed the error return if that's the case.
The reason why I did that in the first place was because we had a bunch
of symlinks which were writable.
In VirtualBox 5.1.22 the code specifically checks whether the file is a
symlink, so we can safely drop our change.
Tested via all of the "virtualbox" NixOS VM subtests and they now all
succeed.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-17.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
