Well, my very non-official answer -- since I'm not John Morris --
is that if there were such a bug with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (and thus
White Box Enterprise Linux) then the CDs would probably be re-spun. At
the worst, the re-spin may be put off until the next quarterly update.
My reasoning:
1. The bug you quote is for Fedora Core, not RHEL. There has never
been one of "these kinds of patches [to] hit [WBEL]". Well, I
guess you could count the brown bag WBEL releases...
2. Red Hat releases security updates and critical bugs fixes as they
come. I guess a bug like you quote would be considered critical.
Yet, it would certainly be most convenient to Red Hat to release
such a fix during their quarterly update, when they release re-spun
CDs, anyway.
3. To my knowledge, there has been no official statement from John
Morris as to how often the WBEL CDs will be re-spun. The only
statement I've seen is an informal one made by a WBEL/Beauregard
