Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue:

Comment 4 Vladis Dronov 2018-03-02 14:03:32 UTC 
Statement:

This issue does not affect the versions of the Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, 7, its real-time kernel, Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for ARM 64 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for Power 9 LE, as the code with the flaw is not built and shipped in the products listed.
Comment 5 Justin M. Forbes 2018-03-02 21:19:23 UTC 
This issue was fixed for Fedora with the 4.13 kernel rebases.
