{"id":"CVE-2008-2357","details":"Stack-based buffer overflow in the split_redraw function in split.c in mtr before 0.73, when invoked with the -p (aka --split) option, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS PTR record.  NOTE: it could be argued that this is a vulnerability in the ns_name_ntop function in resolv/ns_name.c in glibc and the proper fix should be in glibc; if so, then this should not be treated as a vulnerability in mtr.","modified":"2026-04-10T03:39:54.286397Z","published":"2008-05-21T13:24:00Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/30312"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/30340"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/30359"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/30522"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/30967"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200806-01.xml"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1587"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDVSA-2008:176"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2008/May/0488.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"ftp://ftp.bitwizard.nl/mtr/mtr-0.73.diff"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2008-07/msg00001.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securityreason.com/securityalert/3903"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://wiki.rpath.com/wiki/Advisories:rPSA-2008-0175"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/05/21/1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/05/21/3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2008/05/21/4"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/492260/100/0/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/29290"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securitytracker.com/id?1020046"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/42535"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-2558"}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
