New versions of libpcap and tcpdump have been released on December 31: https://git.tcpdump.org/libpcap/blob/HEAD:/CHANGES https://git.tcpdump.org/tcpdump/blob/HEAD:/CHANGES Overflow and crash fixes in the libpcap update could also be considered security issues, so we should go ahead and update these for Mageia 8 (already updated in Cauldron).
Neither SRPM involved has a visible packager, so assigning this globally.
