| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in libpcap. The Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) interpreter's 'div #k' and 'mod #k' instructions do not validate if the immediate value 'k' is zero. A local attacker with low privileges could exploit this by providing a specially crafted filter program, leading to a division-by-zero error. This could result in a denial of service (DoS) for the affected system.
