Fedora 30: 2019-eaa681d33e Critical: libpcap Network Security Fix

Libpcap provides a portable framework for low-level network

monitoring. Libpcap can provide network statistics collection,

security monitoring and network debugging. Since almost every system

vendor provides a different interface for packet capture, the libpcap

authors created this system-independent API to ease in porting and to

alleviate the need for several system-dependent packet capture modules

in each application.

Install libpcap if you need to do low-level network traffic monitoring

on your network.
