They are affected but at least they don't have root privileges.

That is no fix. That is a workaround.

If you’re going to be pedantic, you need to define the audience. There are many people who read this page. This is a fix for the issue from a usability standpoint, but it is a workaround for the vulnerability from a software standpoint.
