Statement
This issue does not affect the versions of mtr as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or 5.
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 and 3, this issue can only be exploited if an attacker can convince victim to use mtr to trace path to or via the IP, for which an attacker controls PTR DNS records. Additionally, the victim must run mtr in "split mode" by providing -p or --split command line options. The Red Hat Security Response Team has therefore rated this issue as having low security impact, a future update may address this flaw.
