The newer kernels (like 4.18) have checks regarding copies to userspace for
unwanted kernel memory exposure.
The check fails here. This particular copy was initiated by the binary nvidia 
driver, so unfortunately we cannot help here. So either ask Nvidia for a fix 
or (if that driver was installed with the Ubuntu software updater)  Canonical.
