Not really as bad as it seems, quote from the register "

"It ought to be pointed out that security experts are split about the seriousness of the bug or even whether it's actually new. Stefan Esser of German security outfit SektionEins presented research on a very similar vulnerability and the SyScan conference last year"

Apple says the threat is mostly theoretical its not aware of anyone who has been attacked by this and there's no need to develop a patch. Unlike the amount of malware for Android, iOS is still safer at this time.
