Summary: ping has a variable datatype mismatch that can cause
packets to be ignored
Description:
The variable "myid" which is placed in the ICMP header is declared as an
int. The datatype in the ICMP header is a u_int16_t (based on Busybox
datatypes). This can cause an overflow situation that will cause a
returned packet to be rejected with no status message printed to the
terminal screen.
