net/core/net_namespace.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.32 and previous versions does not properly handle a high rate of creation and cleanup of network namespaces, which makes it easier for remote malicious users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via requests to a daemon that requires a separate namespace per connection, as demonstrated by vsftpd.
