It looks like F25 has gone from libvpx-1.5.0 (libvpx.so.3) to libvpx-1.6.0 (libvpx.so.4). Creating a symlink from /usr/lib64/libvpx.so.3 to /usr/lib64/libvpx.so.4.0.0 might work (if the library api has not changed, or at least the calls needed have not changed, but there might be symbol naming problems as well). But really what you need is a VirtualBox package built against the new version, libvpx-1.6.0. Alternately you could build the source package of libvpx-1.5.0 on F25, remove libvpx-1.6.0, and then install the libvpx-1.5.0 and make sure to exclude that package when updating. But there are probably other package dependencies requiring libvpx-1.6.0 so it will quickly get tedious building (and rebuilding) dependencies and excluding those from updates too.
