Unpriv users can use traceroute over plain UDP sockets, but not TCP ones.
$ traceroute -Mtcp 8.8.8.8
You do not have enough privileges to use this traceroute method.
$ traceroute -n -Mudp 8.8.8.8
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

We can easily support traceroute over TCP, by queueing an error message
into socket error queue.
Note that applications need to set IP_RECVERR/IPV6_RECVERR option to
enable this feature, and that the error message is only queued
while in SYN_SNT state.
socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
setsockopt(3, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_RECVERR, [1], 4) = 0
setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TIMESTAMP_OLD, [1], 4) = 0
setsockopt(3, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS, [5], 4) = 0
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(8787), sin6_flowinfo=htonl(0),
inet_pton(AF_INET6, "2002:a05:6608:297::", &sin6_addr), sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1 EHOSTUNREACH (No route to host)
