Yes, of course. But for Linux kernels, for every new release for the few maintained stable kernels, they always tell you it's better to update without giving specific details if there are vulnerabilities and who is affected. I personally don't bother to upgrade all the time with minor versions (at least on the systems where the kernel is not from the distribution). Therefore, running something not as root is good, but I should still be afraid of any exploit!
