Official Statement from Red Hat (01/28/2010)

Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of the Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, 5 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG as they did not have support for network namespaces, and did not include upstream commit 483a47d2 that introduced the problem.
