Hello,

I think we should build and release a new 3.18 kernel for the VirtSIG / Xen users..

It seems upstream 3.18.y tree has a release with the Dirty Cow security fix included, 3.18.44:
https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sashal/linux-stable/+log/linux-3.18.y-queue

(also includes a Xen SMAP/PVOPS fix).


Thanks,
