From the Ubuntu Security Team

Ziming Zhang discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate sets with multiple ranged fields. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Mitigation

If not needed, disable the ability for unprivileged users to create namespaces: $ sudo sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=0 $ echo kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=0 | \ sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-disable-unpriv-userns.conf
