Title:	Gentoo Security Advisory GLSA 200503-27 (dyndnsupdate)
Summary:	The remote host is missing updates announced in;advisory GLSA 200503-27.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory GLSA 200503-27. Vulnerability Insight: Xzabite's dyndnsupdate software suffers from multiple vulnerabilities, potentially resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code. Solution: 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: # emerge --unmerge net-misc/dyndnsupdate CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
