So, apparently the full thing going on here is that if you have some other way to basically get root on one of the plane's systems (required in advance, not provided by this "exploit"), then you can cause a message to be displayed telling the pilot he's flying too close to some other aircraft. The pilot will probably maneuver a bit to make room, and then will A) tell ATC about this, get a "what other aircraft" response, and B) look out the window, see there isn't another aircraft, and C) decide something's buggy with the system that's displaying the message. Before this all went public, it would have been followed with D) maintenance crew looks into it after the plane lands. Now that it's public, it will be followed with D) the plane lands ASAP and everyone on board has a nice chat with guys who have uniforms, guns and absolutely no sense of humor.
