The package virtualbox maintained in the Ubuntu multiverse repository will install version 4.3.10 in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and version 4.3.18 in Ubuntu 14.10.

We can also add the Oracle repository for recent releases and upgrades.

The application version that will be displayed by our package management will be the major release (which is 4.3. at present). Sub-release numbers may not always be displayed.

Packages for older releases are available for download from Oracle Virtual Box Old Builds (choose Ubuntu 13.04 packages for 14.04 or later until a new host platform was built).

Go to the VirtualBox site and download whatever version you want, then from the terminal use dpkg to install it.

Here is a link that contains 4.3.12

sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
