Probably more of an issue for a casual user is if they live in flats and have a neighbour who likes to dabble with these things.
This flaw allows someone who couldn't crack your wifi password to listen in on the traffic anyway. Luckily most sites that allow you to login are https by default now so the traffic logged would be encrypted anyway. Cableforum doesn't do this so in the logged traffic your username and password for here would be easily visible.
I would expect an android exploit could come out sooner from individuals trying to exploit this as it's much easier to code due to almost a blank encryption key that can be forced.
VPN's encrypt the traffic so nice and safe, until you have to start wondering on what machine the RSA keys were made because of another recent problem found in hardware which is probably more of an issue than this WIFI problem.
