But, it appears to be a local 'sploit. Meaning, as long as only I have physical access to it, I'm not worried. Or did I miss something?

And my 2.4 deb box can continue chugging along, doing its duty quite efficiently.
Your Deb box actually had a DSA released to patch that up

And it's not even much of a root 'sploit locally -- it can only be triggered at all with certain modules actively loaded (the deprecated VIA southbridge OSS sound driver, some USB dongle gadget, one DRI module)
