Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-0980

Ulf Härnhammar from the Debian Security Audit Project discovered a
format string vulnerability in ez-ipupdate, a client for many dynamic
DNS services.  This problem can only be exploited if ez-ipupdate is
running in daemon mode (most likely) with many but not all service

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in

sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
