I don't know if I would say it's a nothing burger, but i don't see how it affects important servers. It might impact a number of linux desktops and, if they are linked to important servers, provide a backdoor access into important services.

Being able to run arbitrary code in a root account with no authentication would seem to be a pretty important security breach, although I don't think it's quite the level of danger it was built up to be.
