Do you think any specific distributions might be affected?

I don't think they are infected. Did you read the post?

yes. Linux itself seems to be safe. I was wondering if other companies that bundle distros, like Canonical or Red Hat, could have something. I hope not.

I have pretty good faith in Canonical, these days I trust Redhat a bit less.

I think Debian tried to do an "only include signed packages" thing but failed because it's a massive undertaking.
