traceroute-nanog 6.1.1 allows local users to overwrite unauthorized memory and possibly execute arbitrary code via certain "nprobes" and "max_ttl" arguments that cause an integer overflow that is used when allocating memory, which leads to a buffer overflow.
The spray mode in traceroute-nanog (aka traceroute-ng) may allow local users to overwrite arbitrary memory locations via an array index overflow using the nprobes (number of probes) argument.
Format string vulnerability in TrACESroute 6.0 GOLD (aka NANOG traceroute) allows local users to execute arbitrary code via the -T (terminator) command line argument.
