DESCRIPTON

13       Miredo-server  is  an  Unix  daemon  program  which implements a Teredo
14       server as specified by the "Teredo: Tunneling  IPv6  over  UDP  through
15       NATs" Internet proposed standard (RFC 4380).
16
17       A Teredo server is required for Teredo clients to setup their IPv6 con‐
18       nectivity through Teredo. A Teredo server must have two  global  static
19       subsequent  IPv4 addresses. It receives packets from Teredo clients and
20       Teredo relays on UDP port 3544.

SECURITY

49       miredo-server requires root privileges to create open a raw IPv6 socket
50       that is used to emit ICMPv6 Echo Request packets. Once its  initializa‐
51       tion  is  complete,  it will setgid, chroot into an empty directory and
52       ultimately setuid (see option -u), so as to decrease the system's expo‐
53       sure to potential security issues.
