The RHEL web page is singularly unhelpful. Do they mean that is not affected if you update today and reboot, or that they have never shipped a kernel with the affected functionality enabled? I have a server with just over a year's uptime, so I need to know. The debian web page at least lists the exact kernel version they ship where it is confirmed fixed.

    Thanks, I wrote that statement. I think it might be worth it if the statement text makes its way across to the CVE pages.

The Statement near the top seems unambiguous: > This issue does not affect the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7, Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2, and realtime kernels as the code that introduced the flaw is not present in these products.

  That statement has been subsequently added. And yes.
