Probably, but why would you trust someone else's threat analysis? Their
criteria may be wildly different to your infrastructure and policies, not
to mention an untrusted source.  Why would you base your own security
analysis on someone else's security model?  Read up a bit and make up your
own mind.

There is plenty of information regarding them if you do a little searching.

Some things to consider:
Access: Encrypted connection, ACLs, TCPWrappers, Allow sending variables
