It isn't compulsory you know :)

For example:

"A race condition has been discovered in the file permission handling
  of the /proc file system. A local attacker could exploit this to
  execute arbitrary code with full root privileges."

So - do you have potential "local attackers" ? If not, I guess you don't
need the new kernel. If you do, then you can install it and be able to
sleep at night... or at least have a better chance of avoiding insomnia ;-)

The wizards haven't yet worked out how to update the kernel in a system
while an existing kernel is running ( joking).
