flaw to cause a denial of service by flooding the logging system with
WARN() messages causing the initial domain to exhaust disk space.

Jann Horn discovered a ptrace issue with user namespaces in the Linux
kernel. The namespace owner could potentially exploit this flaw by ptracing
a root owned process entering the user namespace to elevate its privileges
and potentially gain access outside of the namespace.
