This is the commit in question:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/openscap.git/commit/?id=e09f29496081a0525cda0b18299bccb9803baf76

It is part of the master branch, there have been no releases that contain it 
yet. The next release with this change will be openscap 1.1.0. This commit may 
be a good candidate for a downstream patch in the CentOS package.
