Description Fabio Erculiani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-03 09:54:45 UTC 
sys-kernel/openvz-sources-2.6.27.2.1-r2 is missing the famous security patch that fixes a NULL pointer dereference (see URL). Ebuilds affected (masked ebuilds haven't been tested):

  - sys-kernel/openvz-sources-2.6.27.2.1-r2.ebuild

Patch applies almost cleanly:
# patch -p1 --dry-run < sock_sendpage.patch
patching file net/socket.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 693 (offset -2 lines).

Reproducible: Always
