Remotely explotable bugs are bad news. To the best of my knowledge, this is only the 2nd such bug ever discovered in BSD. -Z
Proof of concept code was published with the advisory. If you're running OpenBSD and use IPV6 (which actually should be a fairly small group), you should check out the patch linked to in the advisory.
If you're not using IPV6, you may mitigate the impact by following the instructions published by the OpenBSD team to deal with the threat.

Does it apply to other flavors like FreeBSD or OS X?

Whew. I thought the headline read, OpenBDS. We would've been overrun with trolls.

Exploits on BSD are boring, they always have a fix in the same announcement. i prefer windows where it will sit out there for several weeks before something gets done about it.
nothing to see here, move along people.
