This bug was fixed in the package rsyslog - 4.2.0-2ubuntu8

---------------
rsyslog (4.2.0-2ubuntu8) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/deroot.patch:
    - After opening /proc/kmsg, set the effective user to an unprivileged
      one and attempt a zero-byte read from the file. If this succeeds, we
      know that this will work de-rooted; if this fails, we don't enable
      kernel-message logging. LP: #523610.
