Nope, but this bug was ported to Centos 8 and probably other distros.
TBH, looks like widespread bootchain sabotage to me.

BTW, NSA released technical report about secureboot recently:
https://media.defense.gov/2020/Sep/15/2002497594/-1/-1/0/CTR-UEFI-SECURE-BOOT-CUSTOMIZATION-20200915.PDF/CTR-UEFI-SECURE-BOOT-CUSTOMIZATION-20200915.PDF

Interesting fact, they skip initramdrive verification as well, and
modern distros make it's verification next to impossible.
