Installing VirtualBox 5.1 on CentOS 7.3

Has anyone been able to install VirtualBox 5.1 successfully on a CentOS 7.3 x64 box? Installing it via YUM succeeds, but calling "vagrant -v" shows the following:

This system is not currently set up to build kernel modules (system extensions).
Running the following commands should set the system up correctly:
  yum install kernel-devel-3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64
(The last command may fail if your system is not fully updated.)
  yum install kernel-devel

kernel-devel is installed already as part of dependencies. So it seems VirtualBox expects the 7.2 kernel modules. Has anyone been able to install VirtualBox 5.1 on kernel 3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64?

I found a solution to this, in case it might be useful for someone else.\n\n(1) Visit https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/centos/updates/7.2.1511/x86_64/Packages/kernel-devel-3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64.html\n\n(2) Download the RPM (kernel-devel-3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64.rpm)\n\n(3) Run yum localinstall -y /path/to/kernel-devel-3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64.rpm to install \"kernel-devel\".\n\n(4) Run /sbin/vboxconfig to further configure VirtualBox.\n\nIf you are using Ansible, you need something like the below before installing it via YUM (only if you have a system that does not have the correct kernel sources).\n\n# Required kernel module\n- name: Copy required kernel modules\n copy:\n src: \"{{ role_path }}/files/{{ vbox_kernel_devel_rpm }}\"\n dest: \"/tmp/{{ vbox_kernel_devel_rpm }}\"\n- name: Install kernel-devel module\n shell: \"yum localinstall -y /tmp/{{ vbox_kernel_devel_rpm }}\"\n args:\n warn: false\n- name: Delete uploaded RPM\n file: path=\"/tmp/{{ vbox_kernel_devel_rpm }}\", state=absent\n",
