The issue is affecting latest version of Virtualbox 7 package on RHEL8.9. Notably, the issue doesn't affect latet version Virtualbox version 6.1.

Hey there apologies for the long delay on this issue. It looks like this particular issue was resolved by https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-virtualbox/pull/122 but the fix has not yet been released.

I'm in the process of reviewing a few 7.0.x related issues and will get this change released as soon as possible.
