CVE-2009-1360 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1360):
  The __inet6_check_established function in net/ipv6/inet6_hashtables.c
  in the Linux kernel before 2.6.29, when Network Namespace Support
  (aka NET_NS) is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
  service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via vectors
  involving IPv6 packets.
