It's a potential issue in a situation when you have multiple users on one machine that are allowed to mount discs or disc images without root access, or if you have a CD with a malicious label that gets copied into the mount point (though maybe automounters will escape the label).
I don't know that this can be turned into a real attack on its own, but lack of imagination is not a good argument for something not being a security risk.
