[Vasily Averin]

OpenVZ project released an updated RHEL6 based kernel.
Read below for more information. Everyone is advised to update.

Changes and Download
====================
(since 042stab125.3)

* [Moderate] A flaw was found in the implementation of associative arrays where
the add_key systemcall and KEYCTL_UPDATE operations allowed for a NULL payload
with a nonzero length. When accessing the payload within this length parameters
value, an unprivileged user could trivially cause a NULL pointer dereference
(kernel oops). (CVE-2017-15274)
* Improved the hash function for IPv6 neighbours to increase system responsiveness
under IPv6 flooding attacks. (PSBM-73496)
* Stopping NFS server inside a container could cause the host to crash. (PSBM-74832)
