First, many of those reports are 2.6 specific.
Many deployed systems are running 2.4, which does not have anywhere near
as many issues.

Second, "local exploits" mean you need to get a local user.
If you assume that, then you can assume a lot of other things too.

I wish that the site would actually link to the CVE report.
