A atualização para a versão mais recente resolveu o problema: link
Após a atualização de 17.04 para 17.10, meu VirtualBox não iniciará:
$ VBoxManage --version
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (4.13.0-16-generic) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run

Qual seria o meu curso de ação? Obrigado
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic linux-headers-lowlatency linux-headers-4.13.0-16-lowlatency linux-headers-4.13.0-16-generic
e reinstale o Virtualbox ou o virtualbox-dkms
Instalei o VirtualBox (5.2.8 ATM) mais recente no Ubuntu 17.10 e ele não foi iniciado.
Solução:
sudo apt install -f
