Description
I am using Windows 10 to run Oracle Virtual Box 5.2.4. The notification of an update came and I updated it to the latest (5.2.6) and that was fine. I have a virtual machine running Ubuntu 16.04 and while running the old vm tools I updated the vm tools and it crashed. The virtual machine will not boot past the Oracle boot screen

Hello!
I am sorry to inform you but this bug is not resolved with the GA 5.2.7.
My Ubuntu guests sometimes does not start properly and ends up in a black screen, even after updating the guest additions from version 5.6.6 to 5.2.7.

Same issue for me on fedora27 host, my Win10 guest is now broken unless I uninstall the guest additions. Would install 5.2.4 if I knew where to find it.
Please try the new GAs from the Downloads page, at the "Important" section at the beginning.
Most probably a duplicate of #17463.
