Yes, but the most secure thing to do at this point _is_ to recreate the bug and then set a password for the root user. Otherwise the hole is still there for ot

  If you set a root password, this bug still works, it seems to reset the root password. Edit: I was partly wrong. The bug still works if you disable root afterwards, then it reenables and resets it.
