You can get this information yourself by issuing, on a fully up to date 
6.6 machine, the following command:
rpm -q --changelog kernel-2.6.32-504.12.2.el6

Since the resulting output is a bit over 32,000 lines, I'll not post it 
here.  Use you favorite text-munging tools to stop the output at the 
kernel you currently have.  (For grins and giggles, here's a suggested line:
# rpm -q --changelog kernel-2.6.32-504.12.2.el6|head -n `rpm -q 
--changelog kernel-2.6.32-504.12.2.el6|grep -n 2.6.32-431|cut -d ":" -f 1`

Bonus points if you figure out a better line; that was just off the top 
of my head.  There are probably options to grep to do that for you......
