Linux Directory Penguin Traceroute Perl Script Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability

Penguin traceroute.pl is a freely available, open source script for tracing network hops from a web server. It is distributed by Linux Directory.

The Penguin traceroute script does not adequately filter special characters. This makes it possible for a remote user to embed commands into a request using special characters such as the ';' or '|' characters. The embedded command would be executed with the permissions of the web browser.
