https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2019/CVE-2019-8956.html

 Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Linux Kernel, which
 can be exploited by malicious, local users to potentially gain
 escalated privileges.

 A use-after-free error in the "sctp_sendmsg()" function
 (net/sctp/socket.c) when handling SCTP_SENDALL flag can be exploited
 to corrupt memory.

Clean cherry pick back to Cosmic (older releases are not affected).
Build logs are clean.
