More information:
Recent messages on a computer security forum have again reported that there
are buffer overflows in minicom. These can lead into root exploits if the
program is installed setuid root.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 is not vulnerable to this exploit.
The program minicom as shipped with the distribution is not installed
setuid root. This is not needed on a Debian GNU/Linux system.
