[Impact]
oping and noping needs root access to run. This hinders these tools usage in a given machine, making them useless for some users.
[Test Plan]
The bug can be reproduced in a bionic container/vm, with:
# apt update
# apt install -y oping
# oping -c1 localhost
# noping -c1 localhost
Verify that the 2 last commands worked as expected
# adduser -q --disabled-password --gecos reproducer reproducer
# su reproducer
$ oping -c1 localhost
$ noping -c1 localhost
Verify that the 2 last commands failed with
"ping_send failed: Operation not permitted"
After applying the proposed patch, the steps that would fail for the reproducer above, should no longer fail.
[Where problems could occur]
While the same patch is applied over the same version as the one in jammy, jammy also carry a couple, apparently unrelated, patches. This could lead to unexpected code paths that were not caught through reviews. Moreover,
the bionic package was last built during the artful development cycle, and new versions of build dependencies are available, which could trigger unexpected behaviors.
[Other Info]
This has been fixed since focal, therefore, the SRU should only apply to bionic
