Guest Agent's protocol is one-direction - from host to guest. It is a server inside guest, servicing requests from the host node.

In OpenVZ it is used for advanced guest configuration (network settings, user password, some performance statistics). If malicious user wants to deny such advanced configuration or stats - he can do it. But unlikely he'll be able to cause the host DoS.
