    If you are running apt then you are running debian or ubuntu which the article clearly states they are vulnerable. but anyway I was asking how do I figure it out by myself

      All Linux systems will be very likely vulnerable to this if they’re not they’re patched with the fix. Patched systems will not be vulnerable. That’s true for Debian and Ubuntu, as it is for any Linux system. The commands I gave are determining whether or not you’re patched, on a Debian or Ubuntu system.

      What distro are you running? I can give you commands like that for any Linux system to determine whether or not you’re patched.

          I don’t see why it wouldn’t. I think for gentoo, you want to check if you need any security updates with:

          emerge --sync
          emerge gentoolkit
          glsa-check -l affected
          

          (Edit: Also, as a general rule – don’t type stuff as root just because I or some other random person on the internet tells you to; check the man page or docs to make sure it’s going to do something that you want it to do first.)
