It received an 8.1 out of 10 CVSS severity rating, and Samsung, in its very brief security advisory, describes it as a high-severity flaw. The vendor patched the hole on October 7

This is the most important paragraph. This bug was already exploited in the wild and affects select few exynos smartphones. If you have a affected device make sure it is updated and you should be fine.
