Don't think this couldn't happen to Linux, it's not a Windows problem but a vendor problem.
Linux doesn't force automatic updates into your system.
On windows, the changes go out to everyone all at once. You figure out there's a problem at the same time as everyone else on windows.
On Linux (with a good it department), pending app/os updates get pulled to testing machine, test to make sure it still works, have supported machines pull down that version.
This was a software update that a vendor pushed through their own means. The same thing can happen on Linux
Edit: Also windows has update rings that can do what you're describing
