If you mean security patches... at least as long that tree is supported by 
kernel.org, but please check yourself and don't blame me otherwise or if 
you have a problem (without warranty :-).
E.g. one issue mentioned in the original post:
Privilege escalation fixed in 2.6.17.10 http://secunia.com/advisories/21515/

Is also fixed in 2.6.16.28 (from 25 Aug 2006), see
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.16.28
and look for CVE-2006-3745, which is one of the official CVE numbers for 
that secunia report.
I suppose you will find the others, too.
