I too am having the segmentation faults as indicated in previous posts once I install VBoxGuestAdditions-6.1.18.iso. Reading the changelogs previous releases haven't been patched for kernel 5.10.x.
Decided to install a fresh guest with the iso obtained from https://slackware.uk/people/alien-cu...4-current-iso/
Got the guest up and running as expected kde (level 4), screen resizing and shared folders worked out of the box. Bi-directional copy/paste didn't
As I quite like Bi-directional copy/paste so went to install VBoxGuestAdditions-6.1.18.iso got this message

Uncompressing VirtualBox 6.1.18 Guest Additions for Linux........
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
./install.sh: line 143: VBoxControl: command not found
This system appears to have a version of the VirtualBox Guest Additions
already installed. If it is part of the operating system and kept up-to-date,
there is most likely no need to replace it. If it is not up-to-date, you
should get a notification when you start the system. If you wish to replace
it with this version, please do not continue with this installation now, but
instead remove the current version first, following the instructions for the
operating system.
If your system simply has the remains of a version of the Additions you could
not remove you should probably continue now, and these will be removed during
installation.
Do you wish to continue? [yes or no]

This was my first attempt at installing VBoxGuestAdditions in a clean system so I answered yes. Rebooted and the guest failed to start for the reasons described in previous posts.Tried init 3 - same problem.
Then tried the recovery console (single) that started, but was very troubled
Not sure if this helps, but something to think about.
