Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.10%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

libpcap BPF interpreter for the 'div #k' and 'mod #k' ALU instructions does not check whether the immediate value is zero. In particular uncommon use cases a crafted filter program can cause a division by zero.
