If you've got console access, don't you often have physical access to the
machine, and thus many easier ways of getting root?

(This might be concerning for machines with serial consoles, higher-end
servers with a BMC, and virtualized systems, for which this assumption is
not true. So its a damn good thing this bug was squashed.)
