mempodipper / CVE-2012-0056 / linux local root exploit: how to patch?

Is there a patch or another way to protect against the mempodipper / CVE-2012-0056 / linux local root exploit?

I can delete gpasswd, but I suspect there are other binaries that can exploit the vulnerability.

The current Fedora 15 root is: 2.6.49-10.3. It is vulnerable.
