This was released as part of RHEL 6.5 .  It will not be "seen" in 6.0 - 
6.4 until there is a security errata for java-1.7.0-openjdk .

If you want to test it is available in the "6rolling" tree.

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/x86_64/os/Packages/

It will be released as SL 6.5 soon.
