FWIW: e2fsprogs PPA created and discussion of backports/updates should happen on this linked-bug:- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1365874 -- if you are interested in xenial/older e2fsprogs compatibility please subscribe to that bug #1365874 .
I also spotted e2fsprogs 1.44.2 has fix against crashing from malicious-filesystems, remains to be seen if this and further future fixes may ultimately warrant update to bionic's 1.44.1 .
