VirtualBox 5.2.10
- VMM: Fixed missing NULL pointer check in MMIO code
- Storage: fixed having multiple NVMe controllers with ICH9 enabled (5.2.0 regression)
- Network: fixed wireless detection regression when bridging to adapters with unbound IP protocols
- Network: fixed VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND when bridging to some adapters on Windows hosts
- Audio: Fixed interrupt storm in FreeBSD guests with HDA
- Keyboard: Introduced a small delay to fix old software which expects to be able to read an incoming scan code more than once
