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 pcap_findalldevs_ex(). One of the function arguments can be a file...

rpcapd/daemon.c in libpcap before 1.9.1 mishandles certain length values because of reuse of a variable. This may open up an attack vector involving extra data at the end of a request.

rpcapd/daemon.c in libpcap before 1.9.1 on non-Windows platforms provides details about why authentication failed, which might make it easier for attackers to enumerate valid usernames.

rpcapd/daemon.c in libpcap before 1.9.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) if a crypt() call fails.

rpcapd/daemon.c in libpcap before 1.9.1 allows SSRF because a URL may be provided as a capture source.

sf-pcapng.c in libpcap before 1.9.1 does not properly validate the PHB header length before allocating memory.

pcap-linux.c in libpcap 1.1.1 before commit ea9432fabdf4b33cbc76d9437200e028f1c47c93 when snaplen is set may truncate packets, which might allow remote attackers to send arbitrary data while avoiding detection via crafted packets.
