> um ... doesn't that make it a *remote* privilege escalation ?

in a certain way... you're right... although that requires the user

The guy who would manage to remotely root a box with that vulnerability would
be really good. The real serious risk is local only. (think about all
that unpatched linux boxes in the universities...)
