TITLE:
Gentoo update for PEAR-Net_Traceroute

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37497

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37497/

DESCRIPTION:
Gentoo has issued an update for PEAR-Net_Traceroute. This fixes a
vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the "Net_Traceroute::traceroute()"
method not properly sanitising the "host" parameter before using it in
an "exec()" call. This can be exploited to inject and execute
arbitrary shell commands.

SOLUTION:
Update to "dev-php/PEAR-Net_Traceroute-0.21.2" or later.
