VirtualBox VM 5.2.0_Debian r118415 linux.x86 (Oct 27 2017 17:43:50) release log
It looks like you're using the distro's fork version of VirtualBox. You can either ask in their forums for help, or completely remove/uninstall/delete/purge their version and install the official version from the Downloads section of VirtualBox.

If that doesn't work you should try the latest test builds, especially with all the Spectre/Meltdown patches coming in from all sides. 5.2.0 is quite old for that kind of thing...
