That version is no more supported; and no expecting backport as it only
concern 'security' problem.

Title:
  virtualbox fails to compile kernel modules via dkms after kernel
  update

Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I had the same issue happen after upgrading from kernel
  2.6.32-37-server to kernel 2.6.32-38-server , and again after
  upgrading from -38 to -39.

  After rebooting into the update kernel, the vbox kernel modules fail
  to compile using DKMS with the following errors:

  There was a thread on the virtualbox forums about a similar thing from
  2010, and it was pointed out that there was a bug in DKMS:

  Last time purging vbox and reinstalling it fixed the problem but this
  isn't the case this time.
