Imran,

I'll keep you posted on the progress as this fix is released as errata. There are a few high priority security bugs that you should be aware of if you're building a 5.5 machine:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0793.html - glibc privilege escalation
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0839.html - latest kernel containing privilege escalation fixes and others

As always if you would like to see a list of security errata on Enterprise Linux, visit https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel-server-errata-security.html. For a list of all errata you can visit https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel-server-errata.html
