Comment 8 Eric Christensen 2018-02-20 09:41:44 EST
Statement:

This issue does not affect the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2, as KASLR feature is not present or enabled in these products.

This issue affects the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, its real-time kernel, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for ARM 64 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for Power 9 LE. Future Linux kernel updates for the respective releases may address this issue.
