In the same way PR #1586 can raise the NET_RAW privilege on demand to perform privileged ping without root, the network device scan section that uses
nmapcan do the same by raisingNET_RAW, setting it asinheritableandambient. Additionally,nmapmust have the--privilegedflag passed to it. Otherwise, it will default tounprivilegedwhen it detects that it is not running as root, which will cause the network device scan to fail.
