If you're not on a Debian or Red Hat based distribution, you're most likely fine because of some precondition checks in the malicious build script:

if test -f "$srcdir/debian/rules" || test "x$RPM_ARCH" = "xx86_64"; then

I'd still recommend you update either way, Arch Linux and Gentoo patched/masked their packages as well even though they were essentially unaffected for various reasons. The original maintainer also made an acknowledgement on the project's official website with some additional information as well.
