I checked your Report.txt and probably to fix the problem you should:

apt-get install linux-headers-amd64 virtualbox-dkms

I believe you are all affected by 0004464, the build of the virtualbox kernel module might have failed due to a missing dependency. Can you confirm that the following commands are fixing your problem?

apt install libelf-dev

apt install --reinstall virtualbox-dkms

Or simply dist-upgrading when the updated kernel packages get available (likely over the night)...

VirtualBox's vm doesn't run anymore after yesterday update (5.2.4-dfsg-2).
I got following errors with any VMs I try to start:

VBoxManage: error: The VM session was aborted
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component SessionMachine, interface ISession
