Currently it is 3.2.30 in the 2012.09 version of Amazons Linux ami

Check out this page http://aws.amazon.com/en/amazon-linux-ami/

If you launch a new instance this is the default ami used for the specific instance type.

After the machine has booted run a 

sudo yum upgrade --assumeyes && sudo init 6

To ensure you got the latest patches

Edit:

Current update brings the 3.2 kernel at version 3.2.34 rev 55
