Línea de trabajo

Start by tracing the macOS host HID handling around DarwinHidDevicesApplyAndReleaseLedsState, named in the crash stack, and inspect how it handles devices after a USB KVM switch. The report includes uploaded logs and a reproduction sequence: switch away and back, then change window focus. Done means reproducing and fixing the null-address crash on the window focus path.

What happened?

I have a KVM switch (AV Access iDock C20) to switch between two Mac Book Pro M4 laptops. I'm running VirtualBox only on Mac #1. I switch back-and-forth between the Macs during the day. When I do that, VirtualBox crashes.

Primary error:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11, Segmentation fault: 11

Environment:

  • VirtualBox 7.2.22 r175245, darwin.arm64 release, running in driverless mode
  • Host: Mac16,5 (M4 Max, 16 cores, 128 GB), macOS 26.6.2 (25G83)
  • Guest: Ubuntu 26.10 (arm64), 16 vCPUs, Guest Additions 6.0.0 reported by guest
How can we reproduce this?

Steps:

  1. Run a VM with the GUI. Keyboard and mouse are connected through a USB KVM
    switch shared with another Mac.
  2. Switch the KVM to the other Mac, then switch back.
  3. Click between the VirtualBox window and other apps.

Result: VirtualBoxVM crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV), KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS
at 0x0 on the main thread. Crashing stack:
0 IOKit IOHIDDeviceCopyMatchingElements + 44
1 UICommon.dylib
2 UICommon.dylib DarwinHidDevicesApplyAndReleaseLedsState + 512
3 VirtualBoxVM
4 QtCore ... QApplicationPrivate::notify_helper / setActiveWindow
...
QCocoaWindow::windowDidBecomeKey (crash 1) and windowDidResignKey (crash 2)
