rpcapd/daemon.c in libpcap before 1.9.1 on non-Windows platforms provides details about why authentication failed, which might make it easier for attackers to enumerate valid usernames.

Weakness

The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Libpcap Tcpdump * 1.9.1 (excluding)
Libpcap Ubuntu trusty *
Libpcap Ubuntu upstream *
