There is a (somewhat difficult to exploit) security hole in the ping program
(NetKit-B/linux) - I imagine the hole is present in all BSD4.4-Lite based
unixes, but I have not checked.


NetKit-B-0.07, due to be released today or perhaps tomorrow, fixes
this and a number of other security problems (which I'll post here
once I get the release out.)
