BACKGROUND:

  Adam Zabrocki discovered that under certain circumstances mtr, a full screen
  ncurses and X11 traceroute tool, could be tricked into executing arbitrary
  code via overly long reverse DNS records.

SOLUTION:

  We recommend that you update the affected packages immediately.

  Upgrading using apt:
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list (if it doesn't
  contain this line already)

  ZorpOS version 3.0:

    deb https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@apt.balabit.hu/zorp-os \
      zorp-os-3.0/3.0security zorp-os

  ZorpOS version 3.1:

    deb https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@apt.balabit.hu/zorp-os \
      zorp-os-3.1/3.1security zorp-os zorp-os-extra

  ZorpOS version 3.3:

    deb https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@apt.balabit.hu/zorp-os \
      zorp-os-3.3/3.3security zorp-os zorp-os-extra

  then issue the following commands as root:

  apt-get update

  apt-get -u upgrade

  The latest upgrades will be downloaded and installed.
