First, that would be an issue to bring up with RedHat.  Second, RedHat 
usually backports security patches into the same version they are already 
distributing rather than upgrading to fix the security hole.  I haven't 
looked at the details, but I would suspect RedHet's recent advisory on 
OpenSSL includes the changes made in 0.9.7d.
