Ubuntu freezes after "Object St.Bin (0x559700c88410), has been already finalized. Impossible to set any property to it."

My GNOME session in Ubuntu 18.04 randomly freezes. The latest I see in journalctl is:

Just wanted to mention that I've encountered the problem few more times, always being on a tethered internet from my iPhone 7 and logs were different in journalctl. I then upgraded the kernel to 4.17.14 (latest) and it didn't hang so far!
