If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B.

This regression was introduced with upstream commit d054f0a4d451 [1] due to xsprintf. Commits e68eedbbdc98 [2] and 574432f889ce [3] replace some uses of xsprintf with snprintf and fix it.

Jan 22 12:50:33 bionic-kernel systemd[1]: Freezing execution. [Regression Potential] The patches replace xsprintf with snprintf and the regression potential is small. Any regression would likely involve additional systemd crashes and/or truncated log/output messages. [Other] Only Bionic is affected.
