Does this require a user to be executing ping while a remote attacker sends a flood of exploit packets? Or is the OS always vulnerable? The article was not clear on this point.

The user uses the command to ping the attacker and the attacker returns a manipulated packet. Sounds far-fetched but there might be services that allow you to check if pings from the internet can reach you.
