Changes and Download
====================
(since 042stab136.1)

* Rebase to RHEL6u10 kernel 2.6.32-754.12.1.el6
* [Important] A vulnerability was found in the fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the Linux kernel that allows local users to create files with an unintended group ownership and with group execution and SGID permission bits set, in a scenario where a directory is SGID and belongs to a certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of this group. This can lead to excessive permissions granted in case when they should not. (CVE-2018-13405)
* Minor ploop improvements.
