Hold on a second... You wait for RedHat to provide a package update?
If security is paramount (in most cases it is), then why not hand roll your own binaries? I've had CERT advisories come down, check the vender site (no patch available yet they say), I download the source and build my own. Most of the vulnerabilities are in the products you run. SSH, SSL, Apache had a couple and so on. Sure packages are easier. If you have alot of systems to upgrade then read the RPM HOWTO, build your own package and push it out. Very easy.
