>From the redhat website (errata page for redhat 5.0):
Package: traceroute
Updated: 15-Dec-1997
Problem:
(15-Dec-1997) Security Fix: Fixes buffer overruns in traceroute.
Solution:
Intel: Upgrade to traceroute-1.4a5-5.i386.rpm
Alpha: Upgrade to traceroute-1.4a5-5.alpha.rpm
I would guess that it's this problems they have fixed. Better ask someone
at redhat...
kind regards,
ask
