ASLR was never meant to protect against local attacks, see http://lwn.net/Articles/334027/ for more explanation. the two week period is a vulnerability however for it's plenty of time to remotely brute force guess addresses (that is, when one cannot already leak addresses). that's why ASLR is really only meaningful when you can limit brute force search.
