+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
+ code by sending a specially crafted HTTP message to the client. NOTE:
+ Successful exploitation requires a man in the middle attack, a DNS
+ spoofing attack or a compromise of no-ip.com servers.

+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All noip-updater users should upgrade to the latest version:

+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-dns/noip-updater-2.1.9&quot;</code>
