That kernel has potential kernel leak that could produce DoS attack. For now revert back to earlier kernel and wait for 2.6.32-358.11.2 or later. Do that even if you do not suspect DoS attack.
Heh, it was DoSing me right from initial boot! :)
It looks like the bug was introduced some time ago: the bug report from Johnny's email a few days ago
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=979936
says that the bug was introduced in this kernel:

Older than that goes back before CentOS 6.4. Maybe trying out Johnny's test kernel is a better option?
