Nanog · Traceroute-Nanog · CVE-2003-0453
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
traceroute-nanog version 6.1.1
**Description**
The issue allows local users to potentially execute arbitrary code via certain arguments that cause an integer overflow, leading to a buffer overflow. This can be achieved by exploiting the `nprobes` and `max ttl` arguments. Additionally, there are multiple vulnerabilities in the traceroute-nanog package that can lead to disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information, and these can be exploited remotely.
**Recommendations**
For traceroute-nanog version 6.1.1, consider restricting the use of the `nprobes` and `max ttl` arguments to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using these arguments in sensitive operations. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
