[slackware-security] libpcap

New libpcap packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/libpcap-1.10.5-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes security issues:
Clean up sock_initaddress() and its callers to avoid double frees
in some cases.
Fix pcap_findalldevs_ex() not to crash if passed a file:// URL with a
path to a directory that cannot be opened.
