VBoxManage freezes

Description

Since the latest release of vbox (5.1.26), vboxmanage suddenly freezes. I'm able to run vboxmanage from command line (e.g. vboxmanage --version) but it appears that it is no longer able to communicate with the virtual machines. e.g.

VBoxManage showvminfo TEST-W10
VBoxManage controlvm TEST-W10 screenshotpn /tmp/test.png
etc...

Running these commands will not return anything (the command "freezes" and I have to hit CTRL+C to aboard it). This happens every 1-3 days.

The VMs are still running (and I can connect to them via vbox RDP), but I'm not able to control them on the host anymore (via vboxmanage). The only way to get it running again is to kill all VMs (killall VBoxHeadless) and do a complete reboot of the system.
