SUSE CVE-2023-7256

In affected libpcap versions during the setup of a remote packet capture the internal function sockinitaddress calls getaddrinfo and possibly freeaddrinfo, but does not clearly indicate to the caller function whether freeaddrinfo still remains to be called after the function returns. This makes i...

SUSE CVE-2024-8006

Remote packet capture support is disabled by default in libpcap. When a user builds libpcap with remote packet capture support enabled, one of the functions that become available is pcapfindalldevsex. One of the function arguments can be a filesystem path, which normally means a directory with...

Double Free

libpcap is vulnerable to a Double Free. The vulnerability is due to the sockinitaddress function not clearly indicating whether freeaddrinfo still needs to be called by the caller function, leading to the possibility of both the function and its caller freeing the same memory block...

CVE-2024-8006

A flaw was found in the libpcap library. When remote packet capture support is enabled, it is possible to trigger a NULL pointer dereference when a filesystem path that is not a directory is used as an argument to the pcapfindalldevsex function due to a missing check of the return value from the...

NULL Pointer Dereference

libpcap is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference. The vulnerability is due to the pcapfindalldevsex function not checking the return value of opendir and passing a NULL value to readdir when an invalid filesystem path is provided...
