Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Matt Kimball And Roger Wolff mtr up to 0.47. It has been classified as critical. This affects the function ns_name_ntop of the file split.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

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.

The bug was discovered 05/19/2008. The weakness was disclosed 05/21/2008 by Adam Zabrocki (Website). The advisory is shared at issues.rpath.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2008-2357 since 05/21/2008. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.
