After updating to linux 4.15.0-13-generic, the system freezes at boot, apparently when the nouveau driver tries to start. The console is still in 80x25 text mode at this point. No panic or error message is displayed, only unrelated log messages (screenshot attached).
Booting in recovery mode is possible and allows X11 to start using the vesa driver.
nouveau still works fine when booting an older kernel (4.13.0-36-generic) so this problem seems to be specific to 4.15.0.
