RHEL-4 U6 should be OK.

This is a problem with mount and any version of autofs that uses /etc/mtab will have this problem. The later revisions of autofs v4 and autofs v5 use /etc/mtab somewhat less and so are less vulnerable. Using the patch requires a configure option to be specified. I'm not sure if this patch has been added to the RHEL-4 package, you'll need to check. In RHEL-5 the configure option is used when the package is built so CentOS 5 will have this already.
