Again some blackhats have a zeroday exploits in their hands.

It's exploits a bug in the linux kernel by using ping, does someone have
more info?

btw: I think that the we have to prevent this like the way we did with  "
ping -s 65468 -R foo " bug.
chmod 0500 `which ping` ; chown root.root `which ping`
