How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 libpcap to version 1.9.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpcap package and not the libpcap package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

rpcapd/daemon.c in libpcap before 1.9.1 allows SSRF because a URL may be provided as a capture source.
