  properly handle a high rate of creation and cleanup of network namespaces,
  which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service
  (memory consumption) in applications that require a separate namespace per
  connection, like vsftpd. This update adjusts vsftpd to only use network
  namespaces on kernels that are known to be not affected.";
