Vunerability with network type E1000 NIC #251

Description

@LeBenLeBen

When starting a box with the software versions described below, I get the following warning:

Vagrant has detected a configuration issue which exposes a
vulnerability with the installed version of VirtualBox. The
current guest is configured to use an E1000 NIC type for a
network adapter which is vulnerable in this version of VirtualBox.
Ensure the guest is trusted to use this configuration or update
the NIC type using one of the methods below:
  https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/virtualbox/configuration.html#default-nic-type
  https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/virtualbox/networking.html#virtualbox-nic-type

I have no idea if that is something we should actually care about or not. The solution seems to change the default value with something like:

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
  v.default_nic_type = "82543GC"
end

Drifter version: 1.8.0
Vagrant version: 2.2.2
VirtualBox version: 5.2.22 r126460
OS and version: macOS 10.14.2

Additional information:

  • Problem started happening recently, didn't happen in an older version of Drifter: Yes
  • Problem can be reliably reproduced, doesn't happen randomly: Yes
  • Problem happens to my colleagues aswell or only me: ?
