The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200911-06 (PEAR Net_Traceroute: Command injection)
Pasquale Imperato reported that the $host parameter to the traceroute() function in Traceroute.php is not properly sanitized before being passed to exec().
Impact :
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability when user input is passed directly to PEAR Net_Traceroute in a PHP script, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the user running the affected PHP script.
Workaround :
Ensure that all data that is passed to the traceroute() function is properly shell escaped (for instance using the escapeshellcmd() function).
