> Any idea when 4.8.18 will be released?
I hope to start tomorrow and be done by Monday. I'm not sure how long it will take after that for it to appear in Ubuntu so that a backport can be requested, but I would say a couple of months is not an unreasonable estimate, because it has to go through Debian unstable first anyways.
> The actual patch that fixes the issue is over here
I see, if you are confident, you can try Ubuntu SRU process, I've done this a couple of times in the past and it works, but it's sometimes ends up taking months, which is why I'd say backport is a more interesting alternative.
