OpenStack Platform 6.0 (Juno) for RHEL 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

Security Fix(es):

* A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the OVS processing of MPLS
labels. A remote attacker able to deliver a frame containing a malicious
MPLS label that would be processed by OVS could trigger the flaw and use
the resulting memory corruption to cause a denial of service (DoS) or,
possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2074)
