I always just download it from virtualbox.org, also making sure to
get the extensions package for the same veresion, also from 
virtualbox.org.

they offer binaries for all the "big" linux versions, inncluding .RPM
for RHEL/Oracle Linux, and you would use that one for Centos. 

What they don't have yet, is the "guest additions" for EL7. I assume
that will become available when Oralce Linux 7 becomes available.
