I am one of the authors that wrote the filesystem fuzzing tool that found most 
of the problems you mention. We are working through the bugs it found and 
already have bugzillas for the affected file systems. Dave Jones has already 
released one kernel that fixes some of the problems.

If you are the paranoid type, you can fix gnome-volume-manager to not load 
external disks. You either have to have physical access to the machine or 
root to take advantage of the flaws.
