+--- SECURITY WARNING ---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Multiping needs to open a raw socket for sending and receiving of the
|
|
|
+ICMP packets. For this reason, it consists of two parts - GKrellM
|
|
|
+plugin with normal privileges, and helper application (pinger), which
|
|
|
+is based on the code of linux "ping" and which starts with superuser
|
|
|
+privileges. However, these privileges are dropped immediately, so even
|
|
|
+in the case of a security flaw in the code, the attacker can gain at
|
|
|
+most the access to the raw socket and the should not be able to
|
|
|
+compromise the system.
