Current state of the problem: Ubuntu kernel developers will prepare new patch in a few days (see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2017-June/017507.html).

John Johansen:
"The kernel team is aware of the issue, and will be releasing updated
kernels when they are available.

There are currently no plans to revert the kernel patch until the
replacement patches are ready due to the nature of the security
vulnerability. If the regression is preventing you from using the
applications you require then we currently recommend you reboot into
the previous kernel."
