According to:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=962792

"Statement: This issue does not affect the kernel packages as shipped 
with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 because we did not backport upstream 
commit b0a873eb that introduced this issue.

This issue does affect the kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.

We are working on updated packages to correct this issue in Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2 and will release them 
once they have been completed and tested."
