Anyway, I'm stuck with a few 32bit systems exposed to customers and I have
to come up with an answer to their question about meltdown/spectre. At this
point all I can say is that Red Hat hasn't patched 32bit systems but that
is hard to believe so I assumed that I'm wrong and decided to ask the
community.
According to a Q&A page about Meltdown and Spectre:
Question - Is the patch available for 32 bit RHEL 6.9?
Answer - 32-bit patches are pending, being of lower priority than our
RHEL 5 work at this time.
Apparently, it is not getting a high priority.

I note Red Hat released el5 kernel updates on Wednesday for Meltdown and
Spectre for both i386 and x86_64 architectures [RHSA-2018:0464-01], so
maybe 32-bit rhel6 is next on the list (seems strange to me that Red Hat
would prioritize RHEL5 over RHEL6, but there you go).
There is also a handy script to check the status on your systems here:

I do not have any el6 systems running so have not tried it on el6.
