And I see my centos box still has: 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
yum says there are no updates... am I safe?

The current kernel is 53.1.6.el5
If yum isn't seeing it - it probably needs to clean its cached headers.
try:
yum clean headers
yum update kernel
However - the 53.1.6.el5 release also is vulnerable, so you may as well
wait for the exploit to be fixed before updating. I'm guessing CentOS
will do it fairly quickly after rhel does.
