I've got debian servers with uptimes measured in years ( well, except for the single reboot when they moved data centres about a year ago ), and I've got CentOS servers in the same category.
If their uptime is measured in years then I'd bet good money that they're vulnerable to at least one local user root exploit, possibly more. Upgrading kernels isn't just for fun, there's some profit to be had too.
