well the patch file is saw listed september 12 06:44:06 2003
1.31/mm/mmap.c to a 1.32/mm/mmap.c dated Oct 02 01:18:19 2003

So the kernel may not have been released officially but the patch shows it 
was known and fixed in the sources.

Now don't get me wrong, I like all the work from RH and Ive used 7,8,9 and 
now Fedora. Im just curious as to why something in the changelog for the 
kernel that was security related didnt make it into a backport.
