Please provide LINE of the leak as well ... otherwise these defect reports are not very useful.

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2012-06-12 01:15:34 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 5 Adam Tkac 2013-03-12 17:49:44 UTC
Since RHEL 5 is now in production phase 2 (only important/critical bugs are fixed) and this is not important issue, I'm moving this bug to RHEL-6.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase. During the
Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and
selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as
they become available.

The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here:

This issue does not meet the inclusion criteria for the Production 3 Phase
and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX. If this remains a critical
requirement, please contact Red Hat Customer Support to request
a re-evaluation of the issue, citing a clear business justification. Note
that a strong business justification will be required for re-evaluation.
