The version of Oracle VM VirtualBox running on the remote host is 5.2.x prior to 5.2.40, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.20 or 6.1.x prior to 6.1.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as noted in the April 2019 Critical Patch Update advisory. Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue buthas instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number:

  - An input-validation flaw exists within the processing of     data sent to OHCI endpoints that could allow privilege     escalation. (CVE-2020-2575)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists in the Oracle     Virtualization Core component. An authenticated,     local attacker can exploit this issue, to compromise     and takeover the Oracle VM VirtualBox. (CVE-2020-2742,     CVE-2020-2758, CVE-2020-2894, CVE-2020-2905,     CVE-2020-2908, CVE-2020-2902, CVE-2020-2907,     CVE-2020-2911, CVE-2020-2913, CVE-2020-2914,     CVE-2020-2929, CVE-2020-2958)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists in the Oracle     Virtualization Core component. An authenticated, local     attacker can exploit this issue, for unauthorized access     to critical data or complete access to all  Oracle VM     VirtualBox accessible data. (CVE-2020-2741,     CVE-2020-2743)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists in the Oracle     Virtualization Core component. An authenticated, local     attacker can exploit this issue, for unauthorized read     access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox  accessible     data. (CVE-2020-2748)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists in the Oracle     Virtualization Core component. An authenticated, local     attacker can exploit this issue, for unauthorized     creation, deletion or modification access to critical     data or all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data.
    (CVE-2020-2910)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists in the Oracle     Virtualization Core component. An authenticated, local     attacker can exploit this issue, for unauthorized     ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial     DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox. (CVE-2020-2909)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists in the Oracle     Virtualization Core component. An authenticated, local     attacker can exploit this issue, for unauthorized     ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash     (complete DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox. (CVE-2020-2959,     CVE-2020-2951)
