A recent local root exploit against all kernels, including hardened, requires immediate attention on amd64.  Please consider fast tracking stabilization of hardened-sources-2.6.32-r18 and 2.6.34-r6 on that arch despite the fact that these ebuilds have only been in the tree a couple of days.  Preliminary testing shows no issues. See bug #337645 and bug #326885.

STABLEREQ for other arches will proceed via the normal wait time of 30 days.

With the blessings of hwoarang in #gentoo-amd64, I'm marking these stabilized.
