I built a test kernel with the two commits posted in comment #3.  The test 
kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1800639

Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug?

Note about installing test kernels:
• If the test kernel is prior to 4.15(Bionic) you need to install the 
linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.
• If the test kernel is 4.15(Bionic) or newer, you need to install the 
linux-modules, linux-modules-extra and linux-image-unsigned .deb packages.

Thanks in advance!

Bug description:
  Description: net/af_iucv: fix skb leaks for HiperTransport
  Symptom: Memory leaks and/or double-freed network packets.
  Problem: Inbound packets may have any combination of flag bits set in
  their iucv header. Current code only handles certain
  combinations, and ignores (ie. leaks) all packets with other
  flags.

  On Transmit, current code is inconsistent about whether the error
  paths need to free the skb. Depending on which error path is
  taken, it may either get freed twice, or leak.
  Solution: On receive, drop any skb with an unexpected combination of iucv
  Header flags.
  On transmit, be consistent in all error paths about free'ing the
  skb.

  Should also be applied, to all other Ubuntu Releases in the field !
