Some notes from what I've gathered so far from a rather lengthy HN
thread:

- main backdoor appears to affect /usr/sbin/sshd on x86_64 with liblzma
  being pulled in as an indirect dependency. liblzma can be loaded by
  libsystemd if sshd was built with additional systemd patches which PLD
  does not use (unlike Debian and Fedora). So _possibly_ PLD is not
  affected

- despite that some claims start to surface that going back to 5.4.6
  might not be enough so let's see how this drama develops
