+ function in the file split.c, possibly leading to a stack-based buffer
+ overflow.

+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could use a specially crafted resolved hostname to
+ execute arbitrary code with root privileges. However, it is required
+ that the attacker controls the DNS server used by the victim, and that
+ the "-p" (or "--split") command line option is used.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All mtr users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/mtr-0.73-r1"</code>
