{"id":"DEBIAN-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":"2026-09-20T06:47:31.614816801Z","published":"2008-05-21T13:24:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2008-2357"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2008-2357"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"mtr","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/mtr?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.73-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2008-2357.json"}},{"package":{"name":"mtr","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/mtr?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.73-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2008-2357.json"}},{"package":{"name":"mtr","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/mtr?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.73-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2008-2357.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
