There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 ecryptfs-utils.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ecryptfs-utils package and not the ecryptfs-utils package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

eCryptfs 104 and earlier uses a default salt to encrypt the mount passphrase, which makes it easier for attackers to obtain user passwords via a brute force attack.
