---From eoem EOEM Co.,LTD Android is based on a Linux platform. Although, there ARE threats to the Linux platform, most (of any real concern) would require root permissions. ROOT gives YOU, -the user- root permissions over that phone. You can allow/disallow application (root) permissions only after it's been rooted. I suppose it is possible for a 'silent exploit', but unlikely....that I know of. With that said, the GT-S5830/Galaxy Ace was most likely sold with Gingerbread installed. Are you sure it's not *malware*? There are many forums (XDA, Rootzwiki, etc) that have guides, ROMs, and tweaks for different phones.

Unless someone here has a better idea, that's where I would start.
