Anyway, I'm stuck with a few 32bit systems exposed to customers and I have to come up with an answer to their question about meltdown/spectre. At this point all I can say is that Red Hat hasn't patched 32bit systems but that is hard to believe so I assumed that I'm wrong and decided to ask the community.
According to a Q&A page about Meltdown and Spectre:
Question - Is the patch available for 32 bit RHEL 6.9? Answer - 32-bit patches are pending, being of lower priority than our RHEL 5 work at this time.
Apparently, it is not getting a high priority.
