You can check on the status of it at

  https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2017/CVE-2017-7308.html

which you can get to from

  http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/

Specifically (because kernel tracking CVEs are a bit confusing),
you're likely looking for the 'linux' package status, which shows
that it's been addressed in all the supported releases. And indeed,
the following Ubuntu Security Announcements covered the issue:

  https://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3256-1/
  https://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3256-2/

Thanks!
