Security fix for CVE-2018-16301, CVE-2019-15161, CVE-2019-15162, CVE-2019-15163, CVE-2019-15164, CVE-2019-15165

Summary

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.
