It is not that old and not marked as fixed.
Do you claim that the bug happens even if no kernel updates are being
installed by Software Updater or by e.g. apt, but only by unattended-
upgrades?

Title:
16.04 LTS Partition /boot fills up with Kernel images, gets underwear
in a twist
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On a 16.04LTS system, the /boot partition will eventually fill with
Kernel images, until the point where "apt-get autoremove" can't
complete.
This issue has previously been reported as fixed, but it is not fixed:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1357093
Generally what I see is the final kernel image that fills the drive is
incompletely installed (the header package does not make it). "apt-
get autoremove" tries to work, but fails. I must manually remove
kernel images to free enough space.
I see this on a machine used by my elderly parents, where 'Download
and install updates automatically' is set. And on my home machines,
where the setting is elsewhere.
