Arch and Gentoo were also not supported, although the code shipped, because the exploit explicitly checked for RPM- and deb-packaged distros.
Suse is RPM based, but don’t remember whether the check was for the utilities or another method — Suse uses zypper for package management, as opposed to yum/dnf on the far more popular RedHat-based distros, so it depends how the exploit checked.
