No. Most CentOS packages are compiled from the sources provided by Red Hat, so only they are in a position to plan anything. But enterprise distros seldom update packages, since binary compatibility is a sought-after feature for their customers and users; they usually backport the security fixes to the stable versions they offer:

That particular vulnerability has been fixed in February 2016:

It appears RH has already addressed the issues in that CVE. See this RHSA: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016:0225
Thanks, Pinda
