Having any kind of a leak in the vacuum line to the brakes is a bad thing.
If the cut actually goes all the way to the interior of the line then you
should replace the line, in my opinion. Vacuum hose is cheap and especially
in this application, very important for safety to have those brakes working
correctly.
