This is not quite true. If the shared library solution works there is a strong chance that rebuilding the unmodified binary will work too so the distro could also do that, the builds might take a bit more CPU-time but overall this is definitely also bounded.
If, on the other hand, the binary needs to be modified to support the fixed library version there is a strong chance there is no ABI-compatibility for the shared library to take advantage of anyway.
