Title:
kernel bug null pointer dereference

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete

Bug description:
After upgrading to linux-image-4.15.0-44-generic via the update
manager today, I can't log in anymore. The login screen appears, but
as soon as I've entered my password and hit enter, the desktop locks
up, keyboard stops working and display goes black. Network is still
working, so I could login remotely and see the crash live via
journalctl. I attached the full output of journalctl -k -b -1

In short it says
