From what i understood even my i5 750 isn't free of danger, but to be honest for this to take action by the time someone gained this type of access level they could have done already all kinds of harms to the computer and user data, so it seem highly unlikely to happen.
Unless someone comes up with a version of the Win32/CIH virus (Chernobyl virus) to exploit this flaw since the news are out.
Nonetheless, these are interesting news.
