I was also affected in bionic (linux-image-5.3.0-62-generic), but (since today?) there is an update available: linux-image-5.4.0-42-generic (5.4.0-42.46~18.04.1)

[Fix] Revert the patch that disables sk_alloc cgroup refcounting when tasks are added to net_prio cgroup. [Test case] Test that such environments where the issue is reproduced survive some hours of uptime. A different bug was reproduced with a work-in-progress code and was not reproduced with the culprit reverted. [Regression potential] The reverted commit fix a memory leak on similar scenarios. But a leak is better than a crash. Two other bugs have been opened to track a real fix for this issue and the leak. ---------------------------------------------------------- Reported from a user: Several of our infrastructure VMs recently started crashing (oops attached), after they upgraded to -109. -108 appears to be stable. Analysing the crash, it appears to be a wild pointer access in a BPF filter, which makes this (probably) a network-traffic triggered crash.

All the others are a NULL pointer deference in the same place, so the problem is likely OoB memory read (possibly use-after-free) of a piece of memory which is usually zero, but not always. It is actually the control VM's for our test farms which were impacted, one of which was reliably crashing every 5 minutes or so, and others on more sporadic intervals up to about a day. In all cases, reverting to the -108 kernel has resolved the crashes. Unfortunately, attempts to repro this off our production environment with a packet trace aren't going quite so well. We're still experimenting.
