I don't think this has been patched yet. https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-8655 says that CentOS 5 and 6 are completely unaffected and that 7 is unaffected in its default configuration out of the box.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Cool, I saw the note about 5 & 6 not being affected, completely missed the note about 7 not being affected by default.

Thanks for replying.
