Statement:

This issue does not affect the versions of the Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as the code with the flaw is not present in this product.

This issue affects the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux  6, 7 and MRG-2. Future updates for the respective releases may address this issue.
Comment 7 Justin M. Forbes 2018-01-29 11:37:10 EST
This was fixed for Fedora with the 4.13.5 stable updates
