The version of Oracle VM VirtualBox installed on the remote host is 5.0.x prior to 5.0.38 or 5.1.x prior to 5.1.20. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Core component that     allows a local attacker to disclose potentially     sensitive information. (CVE-2017-3513)

  - A flaw exists in the Shared Folder component,     specifically when cooperating guests access files     within a shared folder while moving it. A local attacker     within a guest can exploit this to read arbitrary files     on the host. (CVE-2017-3538)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Core component     that allow a local attacker to impact confidentiality,     integrity, and availability. (CVE-2017-3558,     CVE-2017-3559, CVE-2017-3561, CVE-2017-3563,     CVE-2017-3576)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Core component that     allows a local attacker to impact integrity and     availability. (CVE-2017-3575)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Shared Folder     component that allows a local attacker to impact     integrity and availability. (CVE-2017-3587)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
