  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker, by enticing a user to connect to a malicious server,
      could cause the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
      user running pump DHCP/BOOTP client.

  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>Gentoo has discontinued support for pump. We recommend that users
      unmerge pump:
    </p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --unmerge "net-misc/pump"
    </code>
