>Environment:
System : OpenBSD 2.3
Architecture: OpenBSD.i386
Machine : i386
>Description:
/sbin/ping is world-executable, meaning that joe user can ping flood
or whatever. It is normal for other OS's to allow ping for everyone,
but this appears to be a bug due to ping being in /sbin, rather than
/bin or /usr/bin
>How-To-Repeat:
become a user in i386 OpenBSD 2.3, and call /sbin/ping
>Fix:
chmod o-x /sbin/ping
