It's a bad one. I guess the one saving grace is:

One mitigating factor is that the kernel version that introduced the vulnerability, 5.8, is relatively new. Many production servers aren't running 5.8.

Welp, off to update servers, clients, routers, switches, Raspberry Pi's and such... then to get a plan in place for some clients. Ugh.
