Affected: AlmaLinux:10: libpcap, AlmaLinux:10: libpcap-devel

The libpcap packages provide a portable framework for low-level network monitoring. The libpcap library provides network statistics collection, security monitoring, and network debugging.

Security Fix(es):

* libpcap: libpcap: Out-of-bounds read and write vulnerability allows arbitrary memory access (CVE-2026-0799)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Affected: Alpaquita:23: libpcap, Alpaquita:25: libpcap, Alpaquita:stream: libpcap

In BPF instructions that load/store a value from/to a scratch memory register the register index is an unsigned 32-bit integer and must not exceed 15, but libpcap BPF interpreter does not validate the value. In particular uncommon use cases a crafted filter program can cause the interpreter to try reading and writing the OS process memory in the 16GiB starting at the current stack frame on 64-bit architectures and in the entire address space on 32-bit architectures.

This is the official web site of tcpdump, a powerful command-line packet analyzer; and libpcap, a portable C/C++ library for network traffic capture. Security Fix(es):

In BPF instructions that load/store a value from/to a scratch memory register the register index is an unsigned 32-bit integer and must not exceed 15, but libpcap BPF interpreter does not validate the value. In particular uncommon use cases a crafted filter program can cause the interpreter to try reading and writing the OS process memory in the 16GiB starting at the current stack frame on 64-bit architectures and in the entire address space on 32-bit architectures.(CVE-2026-0799)

The rpcap client code that processes a RPCAP_MSG_PACKET message received from the server incorrectly validates its headers. A malicious server can send a crafted message and cause the client to treat up to 20 bytes of the client process memory beyond the end of the buffer as if it was a part of the captured packet.(CVE-2026-18238)

rpcapd can allocate up to 65536 bytes per each RPCAP_MSG_UPDATEFILTER_REQ or RPCAP_MSG_STARTCAP_REQ message received from the client, but it never frees the memory, so it leaks memory even under normal use. A malicious client can cause the server to leak memory substantially faster.(CVE-2026-18313)

libpcap BPF interpreter calls abort() if it encounters a BPF instruction that has an invalid opcode. In particular uncommon use cases a crafted filter program can terminate the OS process.(CVE-2026-31911…
