I got you covered, here's a Techradar article talking about the issue:
http://www.techradar.com/news/new-macos-bug-allows-for-full-system-compromise-if-you-have-physical-access

It states that "It allows any user to gain full control of a Mac computer, but not remotely – an attacker will need physical access to the machine in question."
