Looking at that URL now (and remember what used to be there), there are a number of comments that have been deleted... and in comment #33 they do say:

"This issue affects the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 6,7 and MRG-2."

In some of the comments that were deleted they were claiming 5 and 6 weren't vulnerable but as you said, that was only a misunderstanding due to some earlier PoC not working.

Thanks for the clarification.

TYL,
