You need to file a bug report with TUV at https://bugzilla.redhat.com.
When it is fixed by TUV, SL will inherit it. In this case, the bug is
obvious and the fix is already in the upstream (kernel.org) kernel.
So, I would guess TUV will agree to apply the patch. Nevertheless,
unless the bug is something serious or urgent, it usually takes a long
time before they actually "do it".
