According to the company, internal audits have confirmed that the integrity of the Red Hat Network software deployment system was not compromised. The community-driven Fedora project, which is sponsored by Red Hat, also fell victim to a similar attack. More news is available around the web.

It could have been bad if they had not caught it. But it is pretty easily fixed as they just issue a point release with a new key and will overwrite the older version if you happened to get it. Doesnt look like too many people actually downloaded it though.
