Would both Raq2 & Raq3 be affected by this issue?

Recently there have been posts on Linux kernel needing to be upgraded...

1. Problem Description

    There is a serious vulnerability in the Linux kernel that
    allows local users to obtain root privilege by exploiting
    certain setuid root applications.

    We urge our customers to upgrade to the fixed kernel as soon as possible
    because there's a high potential that exploits for this vulnerability
    will be available soon.

My question is..

Do we have to wait for Cobalt to release a fix and if so how long will this
take?
