There is no proof that the old mgettys are vulnerable, but it's never a good idea to run anything as root unless absolutly neccessary.
Wolfgang and I are just working to get this running on debian testing/unstable (but _this_ update is not trivial, so it's not just an "apply patch" to get it to the woody version). If anyone has the important desire to use this right now, he should take the sources from unstable and recompile (and make the neccassary enhancements). Everyone else should wait for about an week, then there should be a working version. As minor and major bug fixes are more or less the only changes in mgetty, I would recommend the version in unstable as the security update for everyone who needs it.
