Java patching

hello,
I'm a Solaris admin and I was asked to patch some RHEL servers. I'm having trouble trying to figure out the RHEL java version. Can someone help me?

This what I do in Solaris

Code:

java -version
java version "1.5.0_34"
java(TM) 2 Runtime Envirement, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_34-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_34-b03, mixed mode)

This what I see on RHEL

Code:

java -version
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52)

Code:

java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
OpenJDK Runtime Envirement (IcedTea6 1.10.6) (rhel-1.25.1.10.6.e15_8-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11 mixed mode)

I went to the RHEL site and looked at this page.
https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2010-4454
The issue is the version numbers don't match the layout I get from the command line. I can't figure out if my version has been patched to cover the vulnerability. In Solaris The latest update is 1.5.0_34 & 1.6.0_31 (put out in Feb), I would like to have the RHEL servers patched to the same level.

OS
RHEL 5.x, (5)
RHEL 4.x (1)

Can someone help me understand the versioning RHEL is using.

NAME

       subscription-manager-gui - Launches the UI client of the Subscription Manager.

SYNOPSIS

       subscription-manager-gui [--register]

DESCRIPTION

       subscription-manager-gui  opens	the  local client tool to manage subscriptions and installed products on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
       The same tasks that can be performed by invoking subscription-manager can be performed in the GUI, including  registering  systems  with  a
       subscription management service, applying and removing subscriptions, and viewing the subscription status of installed products.

       The Subscription Manager UI can also be opened by selecting the Red Hat Subscription Manager item from the Applications > System Tools menu
       in RHEL 5.x or the System > Administration menu in RHEL 6.x.

OPTIONS

       --register
	      If a system has not yet been registered, then the GUI registration page can be opened immediately, as the Subscription  Manager  GUI
	      comes up. This is only relevant for unregistered systems; if this is used after a system is registered, the option is ignored.

REFERENCES

       For  procedures	and  tasks that can be performed in the Subscription Manager UI, check the Gnome help files (by pressing <F1>) or refer to
       the RHEL Subscription  Management  Guide  at  <https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_Management/1.0/html/Sub-
       scription_Management_Guide/index.html>.
