Thanks for report, assigned to proper component (as this is caused by contents). Unfortunately, the logs you sent are not revealing the culprit - I can only assume you have more kernels on the system and 1st in rpm -q kernel is from rhel 6.5 (test is not correct here and has to be fixed for future update, sorry). I see one more issue in your log ... /etc/cryptsetup saved in top dir, it should be either in dirtyconf or cleanconf , Petr, please check what's wrong there as well.
Reporter:
Can you please provide rpm -q kernel and rpm -q glibc from the system, so we can confirm this assumption?
(as a workaround suggestion, rpm -e on older kernels should remove the extreme risk, if the system is fully updated RHEL6.6 and if the assumptions about more kernels installed is correct)
