That's not good, but it's not like we can switch to a more secure alternative. ;)

If your distro is affected distro hop to a secure distro and hop back if it is patched ;D

The vulnerability isn't even with linux anyways, it's just for PHP servers that run on top of linux.

There is a difference in terms of security between distro's. SELinux profiles, proper policykit policies, etc.
