The remote host contains a version of Oracle VirtualBox 4.1 before 4.1.22. As such, it is potentially affected by a local denial of service vulnerability caused by invocation of software interrupt 0x8 from userspace. An attacker with access to the guest VM could leverage this to cause a denial of service.
