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). Supported     versions that are affected are Prior to 7.0.12. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high 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 (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of     Oracle VM VirtualBox. Note: Only applicable to 7.0.x platform. (CVE-2023-22099)

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 affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the October 2023 CPU advisory:

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox product of Oracle Virtualization (component: Core). Supported     versions that are affected are Prior to 7.0.12. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high 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 (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox as well as     unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data and     unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data.     (CVE-2023-22098, CVE-2023-22099)
