No you're not... and we are a lot in this very embarrassing situation...
You can compile (you need kernel-pae-devel's rpm) and insmod this kernel
module while waiting for redhat to push out a new kernel and then that
centos reroll it.

I still see no kernel updates for Centos and I got two Fedora 8 kernel
updates since this exploit happened.
Is my yum broken?
I tried
yum clean all
yum update
and still nothing :(
kernel-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5
is the bug fix kernel.
If you aren't seeing it - I think your yum config file is likely set up
incorrectly.
Where is it pointing for updates?
