Public bug reported:

Last checked on Ubuntu Gnome 17.10.

VirtualBox requires net-tools for it's host-only network. As a host-only
network is configured out-of-the-box, `net-tools` should install
automatically as a dependency.

It currently isn't listed and is not automatically installed.

Installing `net-tools` and rebooting fixes the problem, but clearly
shouldn't be necessary.

It may be that `net-tools` is installed automatically with the standard
Ubuntu Desktop, but not all Ubuntu flavours include it so it should not
be relied upon.
