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.
