Toby Dickenson discovered that dyndnsupdate suffers from multiple

overflows.

<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.

|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

</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:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --unmerge net-misc/dyndnsupdate</code>

|
