I don't recall having ever seen a security problem in the RHEL/CentOS
kernel that didn't affect the upstream sources.
There's no need to rely on impressions, though. Go to:
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel-server-errata-security.html
Select "security" to trim down the number of entries listed. Search for
"kernel" and open each one. The errata notice will state "This update
fixes the following security issue:" and include a CVE ID. You can look
that up to see if the upstream kernel is affected.
