It is remarkable for the fact that there is a sizable base of machines
with RH installations of various vintages out there.

 Now if this was OpenBSD...

See above.

Folks  who keep their systems updated using Red Hat Network are not at
risk. Atleast Red Hat confirms that.  To use the GPG signature key to
verify the integrity and authenticity of the scripts please follow the
instructions below:

* Download the Red Hat Security Response Team public key:

  wget -c https://www.redhat.com/security/650d5882.txt

* Import the Red Hat Security Response Team public key:

  gpg --import 650d5882.txt

* Verify the script signature matches that of the Security Response Team:

  gpg --verify openssh-blacklist-1.0.sh.asc


P.S :: Not speaking for my employer :-)

It happened once to OpenBSD.
