While it is understandable that considerable effort may be required to adapt and test security updates released by RHEL for the OpenVZ kernel. What isn't being addressed is the lack of communication since disclosure of the vulnerabilities. The official assessments and White Papers have gone as far to call out OpenVZ directly by name. The severity of these vulnerabilities may vary widely among different virtualization systems, but shared kernel platforms are greatly impacted. Given the severity and the direct mention during disclosure, this issue really warrants a timely response.

RHEL security updates were released on the evening of January 3rd, only a few hours after disclosure. Is there at least a status on a pending kernel update for OpenVZ?
