Compared to the original claim that it was kernel level and spread across literally everything?

No, no its not as bad as it was originally claimed.

Is it bad? Yes. Is it kernel level bad? No. It can easily be mitigated before a fix is out by blocking 631 and dns-sd traffic. It is not as bad as it was claimed to be.
