Thanks for making sure.
2.6.26 and 2.6.32. does redhat not ship hvc in their kernels? i think this should get a cve id because the more vanilla distros will have shipped with this included.
At least not for the officially supported kernels as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I don't speak for other vendors, so if they need a CVE name, they should request for one.
