CentOS - Jan 2022 - Ping as regular user not allowed (CentOS Stream 8)

Following some update or the other (I think) on my CentOS Stream 8 
system, I'm no longer able to use ping as a regular user; I get

$ ping www.centos.org
ping: socket: Operation not permitted

Does anyone else see this? It it a bug, or were the system/default 
permissions deliberately changed? Can anyone suggest a fix/workaround? 
Actually, I can find several different ones via a simple web search, but 
they are generally related to other distributions, I'm not quite sure 
which would be the most appropriate for CentOS...

Thanks.

Folks interested in this issue can watch this bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2037807

We're waiting for systemd-239-55.el8 sources to show up after which we
will build this and publish to CentOS Stream. Right now this appears
to be an infrastructure issue and the appropriate folks are working on
that, but we also want this package to pass the proper checks before
we build.

"sudo dnf downgrade iputils" should do it for now

it works when you're back on iputils-20180629-7.el8.x86_64

And then add:
     excludepkgs=iputils-20180629-8.el8.x86_64
in the [baseos] section of /etc/yum/repos.d/CentOS-Stream-BaseOS.repo
