I presume this addresses CVE-2016-0728?

Actually it does not .. they have not rolled that patch into the LTS
3.18 branch at kernel.org yet.

As soon as it hits the LTS tree I will build a new kernel though.

Thanks, Johnny!

Just a minor question about workflow.  I had understood that CentOS
wanted the CBS itself to only be used for SIG dev testing; and that
for wider testing they wanted to use buildlogs.  And so ideally after
making sure the basics were in place, you would have tagged it with
-testing, and then sent out an announcement asking people to test it
by doing "yum --enablerepo=centos-virt-xen-testing update kernel".
Was that the idea, or did I miss something?

Thanks,
 -George

That workflow works George .. I didn't know if the stuff would end up on
buildlogs or not (if that was automatic) .. but it is.  So from now on,
I will do it that way :)
