Kernel fchown() exploit status?

There was a recent security announcment regarding a vulnerability with the fchown function.

Only a few distrobutions (red hat/suse) have fixed the issue, but I've yet to see a general patch for it.

Information regarding the issue is here:

I searched around the archive databases, but did not come up with it (unless I skipped over something accidentaly)

Thank you for your time and appologies if this is a duplicate.
