    But.. even if you have the 'permission' to do bad things, it shouldn't
    be possible.

    It's a bug, and only because you can't exploit it if you haven't the
    right capabilities doesn't make the bug disappear.

    IMHO such things (passing values between user/kernel space) should
    always be checked.
