Title:
/bin/ping use Linux file capabilities instead of suid root
Status in “iputils” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Since 2.6.24 Linux has supported file capabilities which can be used
for /bin/ping: http://www.friedhoff.org/posixfilecaps.html
Since this patch:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-security-module&m=123852850319459&w=2
It is possible to have both capabilities and suid root support (for backward
compatibility for pre-2.6.24 kernels or kernels compiled without
CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES), so there is now no reason to not use
capabilities.
