Sorry, hit enter in the first one thinking it would tab
down.

Here it is:

Currently most inplementations of Dynamic DNS or "DDNS" rely
upon only client IP addresses in an access list for
authentication.  The impact is that anyone can spoof update
packets from a false source address and the server will
happily accept them.   I am going to include the URL to a
tool that can be used to exploit the vulnerability. 
Hopefully vendors will strive to do what's right in a timely
fasion.
