The Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-aws, linux-oem' package(s) announced via the USN-4255-1 advisory. The Linux kernel did not properly clear data structures on certain Intel graphics processors, and a use-after-free vulnerability in the i915 driver could lead to system crash or execute arbitrary code
