Public bug reported:

Due to the latest changes in VirtualBox 
   kernel 4.13.0 is not compatible with VirtualBox 5.1.34 and 
   kernel 4.4.0  is not compatible with VirtualBox 5.1.34
due to the latest changes in the kernel
   kernel 4.13.0 not backwards compatible with VirtualBox 5.0.18
but
   kernel 4.4.0  is compatible with VirtualBox 5.0.18

The incompatibility of VirtualBox 5.1.34 is caused by Oracle phasing out 
support for running in 'raw mode' so that system without VT-x can no longer run 
VMs.  
The lack of backwards compatibility of kernel 4.13.0 is not known to me (being 
a non-expert).

I have requested Oracle to provide (and support) a 'heritage' version
(see: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=87387).

However, the fact that VirtualBox 5.0.18 is in the repositories (i.e.
listed in Synaptic) means that kernel 4.13.0 is deemed to be compatible
with VirtualBox 5.0.18.
