Totally agree. It's mind blowing to realize that because of the init system we have on our system we are now vulnerable to DNS poisoning.

Do one thing and do it well.

The init system is not vulnerable. The local dns caching daemon that you can optionally install and that shares the name and maybe some code with the init system is vulnerable.

It's like saying "package dnsmasq.deb is vulnerable, so sysv-init.deb is now vulnerable, they share an extension"
