This bug was fixed in the package open-iscsi - 2.0.874-5ubuntu7

---------------
open-iscsi (2.0.874-5ubuntu7) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * d/tests: make interactive use of tgt-boot-test more usable by
    only using 'timeout' from the test harness.
  * debian/tests/README-boot-test.md: minor doc fixes and whitespace.
  * d/net-interface-handler: Apply changes only for the iscsi-root interface.

Bug description:
  === Begin SRU Template ===
  [Impact]
  Incorrect handling of udev events by open-iscsi's net-interface-handler
  results in nameserver and dns search entries being removed from
  /etc/resolv.conf and thus potentially breaking dns on a system.

  This problem is limited to iscsi-root systems, but is easily tripped
  by common use of linux networking.  This was first discovered on
  Oracle Public Cloud, which utilizes iscsi-root for its systems.

  [Test Case]
  1. Start a system with iscsi root.  One such easily obtained environment is Oracle Public Cloud.
  2. Collect resolvconf and ifupdown state
     name="before"
     mkdir $name
     cp -r /run/resolvconf $name/run-resolvconf
     cp /etc/resolv.conf $name/etc-resolv.conf
     cp -r /run/network $name/run-network
  3. Create a tun/tap device
     sudo ip tuntap add mode tap user root mytap0
  4. Remove the tun/tap device.
     sudo ip tuntap del mode tap mytap0
  5. Collect resolvconf and ifupdown state and compare against '2'.  The creation and removal of a tuntap device should not have affected resolvconf or ifupdown state.  The 'diff' at the end should not show any differences.
     name="after"
     mkdir $name
     cp -r /run/resolvconf $name/run-resolvconf
     cp /etc/resolv.conf $name/etc-resolv.conf
     cp -r /run/network $name/run-network

     diff -Naur before/ after/

  [Regression Potential]
  The codepath executed was and is entirely limited to systems with iscsi-root.
  So regressions should also be limited as such.  The most likely regression
  would seem to be the failure to add or remove entries to resolvconf for the
  iscsi-root interface.  Before this was happening to often.  A bad fix could
  result in it happening not enough.

  [Other Info]
  net-interface-handler is currently executing 'resolvconf -a' on all
  new network interfaces and 'resolvconf -d' on removal of all network
  interfaces.

  The problem with that is that an add and remove of any new interface
  will have the result of effectively marking the iscsi-root interface down.
  That includes removing the resolvconf entries for that interface.

  This add/remove can happen for any number of reasons.  Two such examples:
   a.) docker container create/delete
       - sudo apt-get install -qy docker.io
       - sudo docker run --rm busybox date
   b.) add/remove of a tuntap device.
       - sudo ip tuntap add mode tap user root mytap0
       - sudo ip tuntap del mode tap mytap0
