Description Pedro Sampaio 2019-10-10 23:38:55 UTC 
rpcapd/daemon.c in libpcap before 1.9.1 allows SSRF because a URL may be provided as a capture source.

Upstream patch:

https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/commit/33834cb2a4d035b52aa2a26742f832a112e90a0a

Comment 1 Pedro Sampaio 2019-10-10 23:58:10 UTC 
Created libpcap tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1760624]
Comment 2 Riccardo Schirone 2020-01-16 15:57:50 UTC 
RPCAPD support added in tcpdump 1.9.0 (see https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/blob/libpcap-1.9/CHANGES#L74).
Comment 3 Riccardo Schirone 2020-01-16 16:03:39 UTC 
RHEL 6 and 7 ship an older version of libpcap that does not even have the vulnerable file.
RHEL 8 ships a newer version, however it is not compiled with RPCAPD support (--enable-remote is not specified).
Comment 4 Riccardo Schirone 2020-01-16 16:03:44 UTC 
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of libpcap as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, and 8 as they did not include support for RPCAPD.
