Description Tim Coote 2020-04-20 22:40:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
Cannot ping from local IPv6 address to find others on the same IP subnet. Selinux is preventing the command. All is well on Fedora 30

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iputils-20190515-5.fc31.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.14.4-50.fc31.noarch

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On an IPv6 network with other hosts in the same subnet
2. `ping -c 3 -I <ULA or GUA> ff02::1%<nic with ULA or GUA attached>`
3. response is: "ping: bind icmp socket: Permission denied"
4. `sudo setenforce 0`
5. `ping -c 3 -I fca0:wwww:xxxx:yyyy:zzzz::1 ff02::1%ztr2qxxx`
6. other hosts respond to broadcast ND

Actual results:
See Steps to Reproduce, 3

Expected results:
See Steps to Reproduce, 6

Additional info:
I think that the `sudo setenforce 0` narrows down the source of the issue
