On discussing with Dan Smith, the related denial of service condition described in this report has been a known risk since the introduction of the feature and generally falls below the threshold for broad publication in an advisory. The related fixes merged back as far as stable/pike will mitigate it (or can be tuned to greater extremes to do so if necessary) and are accompanied by a security release note. Since this report is already public, I'm going to mark this as a security hardening opportunity (class D in our VMT report taxonomy[*]) with no OSSA task needed. If there is a strong objection that an advisory is needed, then we can revisit publishing one.
