As for the local root exploit, unless you have untrusted users with shell accounts on your machine, the 'local exploit' is a not a issue.
No, no and no. Possible local root exploits are always, under each circumstance a risk. There is no excuse not updating by installing a bugfix kernel.

Is there a patch set for the 2.6.10 kernel that only includes security fixes and no experimental stuff ? I am currently using a vanilla kernel and would like to patch it but can't really find anything kernelnewbies says that "ac" is stable but http://kernel.org/patchtypes/ac.html says the opposite.
