Greg K-H backported the fix(es) to 3.14.76. And a fix to the fix in 3.14.77. And Ben H. has the patch in 3.16.37, which is likely closer to what you need). The patches involve increasing the limit to 1000 ± some random factor, and per-socket rate limiting. It shouldn't be *too* difficult to backport that patch to Debian's kernel.
