Package: pcscd Version: 1.5.5-3 Severity: important pcscd runs as root. This is the highest privilege level on a Linux system. This level should only be used if absolutely necessary. This is not the case for pcscd.
All of the accessed devices (serial and usb) can be used with much lower privileges and either membership in the dialup group or some udev rules to allow access to the USB devices.
