VBox Shared folder on 6.5.0-kali1-amd64 has kernel-level issue
When I attempt to run commands such as 'cat' or 'python3' on a file located in a shared folder from a Windows host to a VirtualBox Kali Linux guest, I encounter the following issue:
└─# cat links.txt
zsh: killed cat links.txt
137 ⨯
└─# python3 test.py
zsh: killed python3 test.py
137 ⨯
Here's a summary of the information in the log (dmesg):
Error Type: Kernel NULL pointer dereference.
Error Details:

Supervisor read access in kernel mode.

This error is originating from the vboxsf module, which is related to VirtualBox shared folders.
It's possible that there's a bug or a compatibility issue with the kernel version and the VirtualBox module.
