Security
The raw socket interface requires the program to run with root permission. This program is intended for system and network administrators. However, should you want to allow non-root users to use the program you can edit the Makefile and enable the -DALLOWUSERS option, then install the program setuid root. This is not recommended though. While effort has been exerted to avoid things like buffer overruns, this program is not declared to be secure for non- root users to use.
The rvnamed daemon communicates with IPTraf with the UNIX domain socket mechanism. Being a background daemon, it may present a possible security issue if it turns out to be broken. Please report any discovered problems immediately. |
