**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 3.2 **Description** The issue is related to the procfs implementation in the Linux kernel, where it does not properly interact with CLONE NEWPID clone system calls. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by making many connections to a daemon that uses PID namespaces to isolate clients, resulting in a reference leak and memory consumption. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.2, update to version 3.2 or later to resolve the issue.
