Without going to 5.9 you will have unpatched vulnerabilities. With all the applicable patches for EL5 you should not have any vulnerabilities due to in-channel software from CentOS. That does not mean the vulnerability scanner won't find false positives, the key is to get the CVE number of the vulnerability and searching for how Red Hat responded to the vulnerability and whether you have the CentOS equivalent of that patch.
