BSOD in VBboxUSBMon: Windows 7 host / Windows 8.1 guest

I just upgraded from 4.2.16 to 4.2.18.
Now I get a kernel crash in host as soon as I plug in a particular USB device (Nokia Lumia windows phone). I hear the host machine Plug-n-Play installed tone (was expecting to hear the *guest* OS tone!) then the crash occurs. It's quite repeatable. I had been using this configuration for several weeks without this error before upgrade.

Here's typical bugcheck info::

Code: Select all

    BugCheck D1, {34, 2, 1, fffff880040c3c78}
    Probably caused by : VBoxUSBMon.sys ( VBoxUSBMon+3c78 )
More verbose logs attached to the message, and I can provide full dumps to anyone who can help fix or at least diagnose this.

Potentially relevant:
Prior to the upgrade, I was having intermittent problems with USB connectivity to this device, manifesting as 'device timeout exipred' errors from Visual Studio debugger running in the guest. Symptoms are consistent with a hung I/O request: once it occurred, any access to the USB device from any application in guest or on host either hung or returned a similar timeout error. And neither the guest nor host OS would shut down cleanly once this error occurred. So once I got the timeout error, I would simply and immediately power down the host and reboot. But I was typically able to use the device for several hours at a time before the error occurred, including unplugging the device and plugging it back in. I was never able to get a consistent repro scenario for causing this timeout behavior. So there was already something going on with the USB driver as of 4.2.16.

me too...
After upgraded to 4.2.18, I try to add usb device to my guest OS, it will cause my host OS BSOD(0x000000d1). Sometime can make my guest OS system file broken. Now I downgraded to 4.2.16 everything working fine.
I provided my host os minidump file for your help

host: Win7 64bit/guest: WinXP 32bit

(sorry my bad english)

OK, I've opened a bug report on this, with minidump: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12119

I hope someone on the project can take a quick look: it seems others are also reporting USB crashes in 4.2.18, both 64- and 32-bit hosts, so this may be a somewhat widespread problem.

Looking back 1 year, I only see one similar known problem, 12002, reported in 4.2.16, but that was related to a specific unverified driver.

I can confirm this issue is reproducible. I have uploaded a minidump plus dumpcheck log file, in case it helps to have this from multiple machines / scenarios; in my case: w7-64 host, w8-64 guest

Best regards,
