[It's just a panic]
I was so transfixed on Josh stating that the attacker could as well just
mount a filesystem with suid root binaries and how that would be more
useful than a buffer overflow in the filesystem driver. I totally missed
the fact that we were talking about two bugs where the kernel
deliberately called panic() ;).

So in this case I'd agree that the panic() is undesirable, but not
really a security issue.
