No need to apologize, I'm glad if I can help!
The commands you found are good, and they should install the kernel version
that is free from the issue, and prevent updates to the problematic
versions, while
allowing you to update to the one with the fix (once it's released) -
good stuff.

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions.
Cheers,


Guilherme

Thank you for your reply Guilherme. I have decided to try your second 
item and install version 4.15.0-43-generic.


Using google I have found the following commands:

sudo apt install 
linux-{image,headers,modules,modules-extra}-4.15.0-43-generic

sudo apt-mark hold linux-*-4.15.0-4[45]-generic
sudo apt remove linux-*-4.15.0-4[45]-generic

I am not experienced with such matters and would appreciate your 
comments. The only access I have into my server is via an insecure putty 
application.


I apologize for seeking your advice on what must be basic maintenance 
but your comments would be much appreciated.

Alternatively, you can install version 4.15.0-43-generic, which does not
have the offending patches that caused the tty issue.

Cheers,
