The problem can be corrected by updating your kernel livepatch to the
following versions:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
aws - 71.1
generic - 71.1
lowlatency - 71.1
oem - 71.1
A mitigation is available if your kernel is affected, did not yet
receive a livepatch, and rebooting into the most recently released
kernel is not practical. If your system does not require the use of
unprivileged user namespaces, you may disable them and mitigate the
problem using the following command:
sudo sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=0
