<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker, posing as a dyndns.org server, could execute
arbitrary code with the rights of the user running dyndnsupdate.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
Currently, there is no released version of dyndnsupdate that contains a
fix for these issues. The original xzabite.org distribution site is
dead, the code contains several other problems and more secure
alternatives exist, such as the net-dns/ddclient package. Therefore,
the dyndnsupdate package has been hard-masked prior to complete removal
from Portage, and current users are advised to unmerge the package:

<code>
# emerge --unmerge net-misc/dyndnsupdate</code>
