Description
As of VirtualBox 6, there is a bug in the export of kernel module source code whereby if hardening was disabled with a configure flag, it is not actually disabled in VBoxNetAdp, VBoxNetFlt and VBoxPci (but is disabled in VBoxDrv). This seems to be the result of refactoring of makefiles and forgetting to update sed commands that remove the VBOX_WITH_HARDENING compile flag. I am attaching a patch.
