[slackware-security]  libpcap (SSA:2024-244-01)

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.
  For more information, see:

    https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-8006
