You are welcome.

The CentOS-6 kernel with the CVE-2016-5195 is finished, passed our CI
suite tests, and is now pushed to our master mirror
(kernel-2.6.32-642.6.2.el6)

It should be installable from mirror.centos.org in an hour or so.
External mirrors should also be able to start syncing to get it in about
and hour as well.

Still no upstream EL5 release.  We will get that one released as soon as
we have the source code for it.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
