Thanks jimmy, by "patch affected systems" are they just meaning running:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
on ubuntu systems to get it all updated, or is it more complicated?

Just to clarify this as well - this is a CLIENT issue, which means when you use ssh to connect to another server - it's not a SSH server issue, so this does not impact our hosting (since our hosting does not reach out to any other server via SSH).

Just an FYI for JR hosting customers in case they were wondering.
