Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.1.x < 4.1.8 Unspecified Local Issues

low Nessus Plugin ID 62901

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an application that is affected by unspecified local vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.1.x installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than version 4.1.8 and is, therefore, affected by two unspecified local vulnerabilities.

These vulnerabilities take advantage of shared folders and Windows Guest Additions that a local attacker could use to access and modify data that is accessible by Oracle VM VirtualBox.

Solution

Upgrade to Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.1.8 or later.
