First google hit shows http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2010/12/6/4655591

So I guess 2.6.37-rc4 or later should be safe but i'm not sure what exactly was the
fixing patch.

According to http://www.mail-archive.com/lxc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01394.html
removing the ipv6 address may be a workaround?
