CVE-2008-2357

Stack-based buffer overflow in the split_redraw function in split.c in mtr
before 0.73, when invoked with the -p (aka --split) option, allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS PTR record. NOTE: it
could be argued that this is a vulnerability in the ns_name_ntop function
in resolv/ns_name.c in glibc and the proper fix should be in glibc; if so,
then this should not be treated as a vulnerability in mtr.
