I have not looked in at this issue in detail, but I don't know of any
reason why RHEL3 kernels would not have this bug (since both 2.4 and 2.6
have it, it won't have been fixed by something we backported). I think
you're best off asking either RH support about this, or
security@(protected) they can get the real official answer.
If you hear anything back, please let us know the result
