How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:16.0.0 libpcap1 to version 1.10.5-160000.5.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpcap1 package and not the libpcap1 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

rpcapd can allocate up to 65536 bytes per each RPCAP_MSG_UPDATEFILTER_REQ or RPCAP_MSG_STARTCAP_REQ message received from the client, but it never frees the memory, so it leaks memory even under normal use. A malicious client can cause the server to leak memory substantially faster.
