While it may be possible, I won't comment on the technical side of that
fix. 

Linux distros are free, and upgrading to a new distro is probably
preferred so you don't risk any exploits on that machine. If you are
using it in production for some other task, you may wish to rethink what
is critical to you. Also don't count on backwards compatibility as you
never know when it will be ripped out of a new distro, and the newer
distro would be preferred over the old one even if the newer one is a RH
X.0 release.
