Hi, On our Linux-Versions I cannot reproduce the segfaults you describe. SuSE 6.1/6.2 should have traceroute 2.9.3 from nkita-99.11.11-0.rpm (or later) SuSE 6.4: traceroute 6.0 GOLD from nkitb-2000.7.11-0.rpm (or later) SuSE 7.0: traceroute 6.0 GOLD from nkitb-2000.7.16-4.rpm (or later) Maybe you didn't apply all available patches?

This flaw in traceroute (if your version is vulnerable) is tickled like this:
traceroute -g 1 -g 1 (I think it didn't need a hostname) Segmentation fault ... The traceroute version we use on several of our boxes running SuSE 6.0 -> 6.2 (1.4a5) segfaults by issuing the traceroute command line mentioned above. Is this (SuSE-)traceroute version really unsusceptible of being exploited with some piece of evil code? Why?
