You'll always find a newer version of VirtualBox [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads using the Oracle ppa], so use that rather than the packaged version that comes with your distro.  Warning: if you've already got VirtualBox installed from packages, you should remove it (but not 'completely' meaning don't destroy your existing images). Also, under packaged Ubuntu, you can simply <code>apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso</code>; however with the PPA, you'll need to download it yourself.
