If hardenening is enabled the binaries must be suid root to be able to access the kernel driver. All these checks ensure the integrity of the VirtualBox installation. Either hardening is enabled (which is strongly recommended) or it is disabled (usually for development only). There is no 'weak' hardening. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
