The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox product of Oracle Virtualization (component: Core). The     supported version that is affected is Prior to 6.1.32. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low     privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise     Oracle VM VirtualBox. While the vulnerability is in Oracle VM VirtualBox, attacks may significantly impact     additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to     critical data or complete access to all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data. (CVE-2022-21394)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of VirtualBox installed on the remote host is prior to 6.1.32. It is, therefore, affected by multiple  vulnerabilities as referenced in the January 2022 CPU advisory:

  - Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where     Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. While the vulnerability is in Oracle     VM VirtualBox, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this     vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data.     (CVE-2022-21295)

  - Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where     Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. While the vulnerability is in Oracle     VM VirtualBox, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this     vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle VM     VirtualBox accessible data. (CVE-2022-21394)

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

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202208-36 (Oracle VirtualBox: Multiple Vulnerabilities)
