Hi Kir,
Do you know how the kernels will continue to be maintained?
|
Yes. Basically, we will keep supporting our stable branches (RHEL4- and RHEL5-based) for a while (i.e. a few years).
As for the development stuff, the plan is to eventually drop 2.6.24 and 2.6.26 and only maintain 2.6.27.
As for the future kernels (i.e. >2.6.27), nothing is set in stone yet.

For example the latest RHEL5 based kernel is not up to date

If you know some security issue which is not covered in the latest RHEL4- or RHEL5-based kernel, please file a bug.
If you just mean that OpenVZ kernels still haven't rebased to RHEL5.3, that is correct. We are working on that. That doesn't mean though our current kernels are vulnerable or smth -- it's a different issue.

Which kernel is actively being updated with the latest security fixes?

All the kernels that are marked as "maintained" in wiki. For the moment those are RHEL4-based, RHEL5-based, 2.6.24, 2.6.26, 2.6.27.
