>Release:        OpenBSD i386 2.3 almost-current
>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
