Same thing here. Host is Fedora 35 with kernel 5.17.12, using
VirtualBox 6.1.34.
Lots of odd things like "curl" bombing out, dnf upgrades complaining
they can't write somewhere. Restarting nginx+passenger only works a
couple of times, then it stops responding. It's very repeatable too.
Same snapshot works fine with kernel 5.17.11.
The weird thing is that it works on other CPUs, an AMD Athlon X2 and an
Intel 10th generation i5-10500H. Just my IvyBridge Intel i7-4820K has
the problem. I did try the kernel boot parameter mitigations=off, in
case the Spectre or other workarounds were wrong for IvyBridge, but it
still didn't work.
You can run 5.17.12 inside the guest without problems. Your host just
needs to be 5.17.11.
So, what CPUs are other people with problems using?
