I wouldn't worry about aircraft and spacecraft. Here's how Wind River characterized it:

"Connected devices leveraging standard VxWorks releases that include the IPnet stack are impacted by the discovered vulnerabilities. They primarily include enterprise devices located at the perimeter of organizational networks that are internet-facing such as modems, routers, firewalls, and printers, as well as some industrial and medical devices."

It's not great, it's not terrible. Not as terrible as some other publications have wailed.
