It may be over exaggerated for a home PC, but certainly not a business server.

Think of a server running a dozen virtual machines, say in a shared hosting environment. It is possible (but not easy) to set up an malicious platform, and using the bugs "break" into, or steal the credentials from another VM running on the server, that you should have 0 access to.

So yes it is a major flaw that needed fixing
