All of the bugs which are known can be accessed using
http://bugs.debian.org. The precise search that you will have to perform
depends greatly on the software versions from Debian which you actually
have installed on your device.
But briefly, for each of the packages installed, you can check for a
search like:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=foo;version=sourceversion;archive=both
and then exclude bugs which are fixed or absent in the version that you
searched for.
All of that said, Debian 5.0 (Lenny) has been EOLed for well over three
years now, and likely has known remote root exploits.
