I don't understand this from those mails. On the contrary, RedHat
did update their packages with a new patch on top of the former
patch:
https://git.centos.org/blob/rpms!jakarta-commons-httpclient/5acb7f7b3e637c3a6d072e3f037a3c4abb6c48af/SOURCES!jakarta-commons-httpclient-CVE-2014-3577.patch

And the Debian package still have the old version of getCN().
