One of them is a possible local root exploit! http://isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0021-uselib.txt Under each circumstance you should care for those fixes and update. But I expect a new kernel these days, fixing the next root exploit bug discovered these days: http://isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0022-pagefault.txt Although this one only affects SMP kernel users.
