No. But OpenWall also includes a patch of permissions on procfs. If you
apply this part, then please make sure all the local users have proper
read access from /procfs (so every local user can run top, and need not su
for that, even if that user can)

First of all, I think that nobody has any objection to anything that is in
RedHat's errata. Applying stuff from there should probably be safe.

Problematic packages there may be:

* kernel
* apache

Packages that are not from RPMs (partial list):

* Zope
* MySQL (?)
* openssh (?)
* FAQ-O-Matic

Or maybe open the firewall altogether for that short period. But please
get on with it.
