+Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2017-5985: Ensure target netns is caller-owned
+
+Before this commit, lxc-user-nic could potentially have been tricked into
+operating on a network namespace over which the caller did not hold privilege.
+
+This commit ensures that the caller is privileged over the network namespace by
+temporarily dropping privilege.
