It depends what version they are using. My local dev machine (using Precise) is vulnerable, so Slicehost customers running a more recent version than Hardy might be affected.

That's a horrid assumption, is verifiably wrong and what in God's name are you doing on Hardy? You just screamed "ignore me" three times in two sentences.

I'm not the poster, but Hardy is an LTS release that is still supported in server configuration. It's quite a bit newer than Centos/RHEL 5, which is widely deployed on servers (potentially the most popular platform for existing deployments, still).

Bad assumption. Very, very bad assumption.
