BTW,
I am also using OL 8 and haven't had any problems with VirtualBox drivers:
[mgogala@mssql-lin ~]$ uname -a
Linux mssql-lin.home.com 5.4.17-2102.204.4.4.el8uek.x86_64 #2 SMP Tue
Aug 17 20:25:27 PDT 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I am running something very similar to Oracle RDBMS:
[mgogala@mssql-lin ~]$ sqlcmd -S localhost -U SA
Password:
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server : Login failed
for user 'SA'..
[mgogala@mssql-lin ~]$ sqlcmd -S localhost -U SA
Password:

It's on the July patch set, same as Oracle RDBMS.

UEK 5.4.17 is the latest and the greatest Oracle kernel. It is quite possible that some old network drivers are no longer supported. Furthermore, if the servers in question are virtual machines, you may need to check vmware drivers. I remember some fun with VMWare network drivers a long, long time ago, in the company far, far away.
