Well, SuSE has been using Nanog traceroute for ages; at least
since 7.0 but probably longer.
OTOH, the bug isn't very new either. The nktib package in SuSE Linux
7.0 has a patch for this vulnerability dated 2000/10/03 14:12:43.
Finally, let me remark that your exploit has a minor bug in detecting
vulnerable versions. Using the attached patch it will properly
recognize patched versions of traceroute :)
