> I hope this finds you well.  tcpdump 4.99.5 and libpcap 1.10.5 are now
> available in the usual places [1].  It has been almost 1.5 years since
> the previous .4 releases, so this time it is many more bug fixes and
> improvements than usual.  Among other things libpcap 1.10.5 addresses
> two CVEs that only apply if libpcap was built with the remote packet
> capture support (which is not the default).
