Description

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.
Vulnerability
-------------
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.
