That kernel update is part of EL 6.1. Troy Dawson explained how SL would deal with security updates associated with a new release in this post: http://listserv.fnal.gov/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind1105&L=scientific-linux-users&P=15928 "Q: When will the kernel that was released with RHEL 6.1 be released as a security errata kernel? A: It's possible that we won't release kernel-2.6.32-131.0.15.el6, at least not for general security errata. The reason is because the first kernel that comes out with a Minor release usually causes more problems for older releases than it fixes. If there is a major security issue and/or nobody finds any update problems, it's possible that we will release the kernel for general security errata. But the odds are that RedHat will release a new kernel before that happens." Akemi
