  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox     prior to 3.2.26, 4.0.28, 4.1.36, and 4.2.28 allows local     users to affect availability via unknown vectors related     to Core, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-0418     (CVE-2015-0377, bnc#914447).

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox     before 4.3.20 allows local users to affect integrity and     availability via vectors related to VMSVGA virtual     graphics device, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2014-6588, CVE-2014-6589, CVE-2014-6590, and     CVE-2015-0427 (CVE-2014-6595, bnc#914447).

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox     before 4.3.20 allows local users to affect integrity and     availability via vectors related to VMSVGA virtual     graphics device, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2014-6589, CVE-2014-6590, CVE-2014-6595, and     CVE-2015-0427 (CVE-2014-6588, bnc#914447).

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox     before 4.3.20 allows local users to affect integrity and     availability via vectors related to VMSVGA virtual     graphics device, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2014-6588, CVE-2014-6590, CVE-2014-6595, and     CVE-2015-0427 (CVE-2014-6589, bnc#914447).

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201612-27 (VirtualBox: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in VirtualBox. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    Local attackers could cause a Denial of Service condition, execute       arbitrary code, or escalate their privileges.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote host contains a version of Oracle VM VirtualBox that is prior to 3.2.26 / 4.0.28 / 4.1.36 / 4.2.28 / 4.3.20. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following subcomponents :
  - Core
  - OpenSSL
  - VMSVGA device

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in VirtualBox, a x86 virtualisation solution, which might result in denial of service.

Three vulnerabilities have been fixed in the Debian squeeze-lts version of VirtualBox (package name: virtualbox-ose), a x86 virtualisation solution.

CVE-2015-0377

Avoid VirtualBox allowing local users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Core, which might result in denial of service. (Other issue than CVE-2015-0418).

CVE-2015-0418

Avoid VirtualBox allowing local users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Core, which might result in denial of service. (Other issue than CVE-2015-0377).

CVE-2015-3456

The Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) in QEMU, also used in VirtualBox and other virtualization products, allowed local guest users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and guest crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) FD_CMD_READ_ID, (2) FD_CMD_DRIVE_SPECIFICATION_COMMAND, or other unspecified commands, aka VENOM.
