+  <title>Xzabite dyndnsupdate: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Xzabite's dyndnsupdate software suffers from multiple vulnerabilities,
+    potentially resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code.

+    <p>
+    dyndnsupdate is a dyndns.org data updater written by Fredrik "xzabite"
+    Haglund.

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