vulnerabilities as referenced in the October 2021 CPU advisory:
- An easily exploitable vulnerability in the core component of Oracle VirtualBox that allows a highly
privileged, authenticated attacker to impact confidentiality and availability. (CVE-2021-35545)
- An easily exploitable vulnerability in the core component of Oracle VirtualBox that allows a low
privileged, authenticated attacker to impact availability. (CVE-2021-35540)
- An easily exploitable vulnerability in the core component of Oracle VirtualBox that allows a high
privileged, authenticated attacker to compromise availability. (CVE-2021-35542)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
