Debian GNU/Linux Advisory: traceroute-nanog

traceroute-nanog, an enhanced version of the common traceroute
program, contains an integer overflow bug which could be exploited
to execute arbitrary code. traceroute-nanog is setuid root, but
drops root privileges immediately after obtaining raw ICMP and raw
IP sockets. Thus, exploitation of this bug provides only access to
these sockets, and not root privileges.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed
in version 6.1.1-1.3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed
soon. See Debian bug #200875.

We recommend that you update your traceroute-nanog package.
