libpcap-1.10.2

[Bruce Dubbs]

New point version.

Saturday, December 31, 2022 / The Tcpdump Group 
  Summary for 1.10.2 libpcap release
    Source code: 
      Use __builtin_unreachable() in PCAP_UNREACHABLE. 
      Use AS_HELP_STRING macro instead of AC_HELP_STRING in the
        configure scripts, to avoid deprecation warnings.
      Change availability tags in pcap.h to make it easier to
        arrange for it to be used in Darwin releases.
      Use AS_HELP_STRING for --enable-remote.
      Fix some formatting string issues found by cppcheck. 
      Various small code and comment cleanups.
      Use PCAP_ERROR (defined as -1) rather than explicit -1 for
        functions the documentation says return PCAP_ERROR.
      Remove unused code from the filter compiler.
      Use _declspec(deprecated(msg)) rather than __pragma(deprecated)
        for Windows deprecation warnings, so the message that was
        specified shows up.
      diag-control.h: define PCAP_DO_PRAGMA() iff we're going to use it.
      Use "%d" to print some signed ints.
      Use the Wayback Machine for a removed document in a comment.
      Add some const qualifiers.
      RDMA: Use PRIu64 to print a uint64_t. 
    "Dead" pcap_ts from pcap_open_dead() and ..._with_tstamp_precision():
        Don't crash if pcap_breakloop() is called.
    Savefiles:
      Fix pcap_dispatch() to return number of packets processed, rather
        than 0, even at EOF.
      If we get an error writing the packet header, don't write the
        packet data.
      Put PFLOG UID and PID values in the header into host byte order
        when reading a LINKTYPE_PFLOG file.
      Put CAN ID field in CAN pseudo-headers for LINUX_SLL2, as we do
        for LINUX_SLL.
      Fix inorrectly-computed "real" length for isochronous USB
        transfers when reading savefiles.
      Don't crash if pcap_can_set_rfmon() is called.
      Fix pcap_offline_read() loop.
    Capture:
      Never process more than INT_MAX packets in a pcap_dispatch() call,
        to avoid integer overflow (issue #1087).
      Improve error messages for "no such device" and "permission
        denied" errors.
      SITA: Fix a typo in a variable name.
    Packet filtering:
      Get PFLOG header length from the length value in the header.
      Support all the direction, reason, and action types supported by
        all systems that support PFLOG.
      Don't require PFLOG support on the target machine in order to
        support PFLOG filtering (also fixes issue #1076).
      Expand abbreviations into "proto X" properly.
      gencode.c: Update a comment about the VLAN TPID test.
      Add the minimum and maximum matching DLTs to an error message.
    Linux:
      Fix memory leak in capture device open (pull request #1038).
      Fix detection of CAN/CAN FD packets in direction check (issue
        #1051).
      Fix double-free crashes on errors such as running on a kernel with
        CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP not configured (issue #1054).
      Use DLT_CAN_SOCKETCAN for CANbus interfaces (issue #1052; includes
        changes from pull request #1035).
      Make sure the CANFD_FDF can be relied on to indicate whether a
        CANbus packet is a CAN frame or a CAN FD frame
      Improve error message for "out of memory" errors for kernel
        filters (see issue #1089).
      Fix pcap_findalldevs() to find usbmon devices.
      Fix handling of VLAN tagged packets if the link-layer type is
        changed from DLT_LINUX_SLL to DLT_LINUX_SLL2 (see issue #1105).
      Always turn on PACKET_AUXDATA (see issue #1105).
      We require 2.6.27 or later, so PACKET_RESERVE is available.
      Make sure there's reserved space for a DLT_LINUX_SLL2 header
        when capturing.
      Correctly compute the "real" length for isochronous USB transfers.
      Don't have an eventfd descriptor open in non-blocking mode, so as
        not to waste descriptors.
      netfilter: Squelch a narrowing warning (To be look at before 2038).
    BPF capture (*BSD, macOS, AIX, Solaris 11):
      Fix case where a device open might fail, rather than falling back
        to a smaller buffer size, when the initial buffer size is too
        big.
      Use an unsigned device number to iterate over BPF devices, to
        squelch a compiler warning.
    NetBSD:
      Fix handling of LINKTYPE_HDLC/DLT_HDLC.
    rpcap:
      Fix unaligned accesses in rpcapd (pull request #1037).
      Fix code to process port number.
      Clean up findalldevs code in rpcapd.
      Clean up bufferizing code.
      Fix a file descriptor/handle leak in pcap_findalldevs_ex()
        (Coverity CID 1507240).
      Improve error messages for host and port resolution errors.
      Fix connect code not to fail if both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are
        tried.
      Improve connect failure error message.
      Provide an error message for a bad authentication reply size.
      For link-layer types with host-endian fields in the header, fix
        those fields if capturing from a server with a different byte
        order.
      Suppress temporarily the warnings with "enable remote packet capture".
    Windows:
      Add support for NdisMediumIP (pull request #1027).
      Don't require applications using pcap to be built with VS 2015 or
        later.
      Use the correct string for the DLL VersionInfo.
      Remove unnecessary DllMain() function.
      Correctly handle ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION from
        PacketGetTimestampModes() (indicate that WinPcap or an older
        version of Npcap is probably installed).
      Fix use-after-free in some cases when a pcap_t is closed.
      Make sure an error is returned by pcap_create_interface() if
        PacketOpenAdapter() fails.
      Return an error if the driver reports 0 timestamp modes supported.
      Close the ADAPTER handle for some errors in
        pcap_create_interface().
      Get rid of old umaintained VS project files.
      Fix deprecation warning for pcap_handle().
      Npcap is now at npcap.com, not npcap.org.
      Make sure "no such device" and "no permission to open device"
        errors show up in pcap_activate(), not pcap_create() (fixes,
        among other things, tcpdump -i <interface-number>).
      npcap: squelch deprecation warnings for kernel dump mode.
    Haiku:
      Implement pcap_lib_version(), as now required.
      Handle negative or too-large snaplen values.
      Fix various build issues and warnings.
    Building and testing:
      Update configure-time universal build checks for macOS.
      Update config.guess and config.sub.
      If we look for an SSL library with pkg-config in configure script,
        try pkg-config first.
      If we have pkg-config and Homebrew, try to set pkg-config up to
        find Homebrew packages.
      Handle some Autoconf/make errors better.
      Use "git archive" for the "make releasetar" process.
      Remove the release candidate rcX targets.
      Fix compiling on Solaris 9/SPARC and 11/AMD64.
      Address assorted compiler warnings.
      Fix cross-building on Linux for Windows with mingw32 for Win64
        (pull request #1031).
      Properly set installation directory on Windows when not compiling
        with MSVC.
      Fix configure script checks for compiler flags.
      Give more details if check for usable (F)Lex fails.
      Fix compiling with GCC 4.6.4.
      Don't use add_compile_options() with CMake, as we currently don't
        require 2.8.12, where it first appeared.
      Don't provide -L/usr/lib for pkg-config --libs in pkg-config.
      Fix error message for inadequate Bison/Berkeley YACC.
      configure: correctly do some DPDK checks.
      Only use pkg-config when checking for DPDK.
      Allow the path in which DPDK is installed to be specified.

      Don't do stuff requiring 3.19 or later on earlier CMakes.
      Squelch some CMake warnings.
      Fix diag-control.h to handle compiling with clang-cl (issues
        #1101 and #1115).
      Cleanup various leftover cruft in the configure script.
      Fix building without protochain support. (GH #852)
      Check for a usable YACC (or Bison) and {F}lex in CMake, as we do
        in autotools.
      Only check for a C++ compiler on Haiku, as that's the only
        platform with C++ code, and make sure they generate code for
        the same instruction set bit-width (both 32-bit or both 64-bit)
       On Solaris, check the target bit-width and set PKG_CONFIG_PATH
        appropriately, to handle the mess that is the D-Bus library
        package (issue #1112).
      Fix generation of pcap-config and libpcap.pc files (issue #1062).
      pcap-config: don't assume the system library directory is /usr/lib.
