After running Ubuntu Update which upgraded kernel to 3.13.0-32-generic, I had to run "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" as normal to create the relevant modules for VirtualBox with the new kernel.
The output of the above command though is as follows as opposed to a successful outcome:
START
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
* Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
* Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.13.0-32-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.2.10/build/make.log for more information.
* Failed, trying without DKMS
* Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules
* Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong
END
