Well if you have a multi-user machine, and they have access to the insecure drm, they can write some code to get the graphics card to DMA some root only RAM somewhere else, so things like passwd file contents etc can be gotten at ... it requires some knowledge of the graphics card but it is not beyond a decent hacker...
