I may be wrong, but it looks to me that you should be OK as long as you only use the software in the regular repositories that come with the system. It is my opinion for the most part that this kind of threat comes into play when you download proprietary or some other unapproved software. Open source software allows peer review of the code and makes it much harder for an exploit to slip through.
