This tcpdump release fixes an out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CVE-2023-1801) present
in the previous release (4.99.3) in the SMB printer, which is not compiled by default.
It also makes various minor improvements. This release requires libpcap 1.10.0 or later
to pass all test cases.

ncurses before 6.4 20230408, when used by a setuid application, allows local users to trigger
security-relevant memory corruption via malformed data in a terminfo database file that is found
in $HOME/.terminfo or reached via the TERMINFO or TERM environment variable.
A flaw was found in X.Org Server Overlay Window. A Use-After-Free may lead to local privilege escalation.
If a client explicitly destroys the compositor overlay window (aka COW), the Xserver would leave a dangling
pointer to that window in the CompScreen structure, which will trigger a use-after-free later.

Stop installing /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d as 700/polkitd
Code:
The vendor tree (/usr) cannot contain any secrets or privileged data, as it
is normally shipped in images or packages that can be trivially downloaded and
inspected by anybody.
It thus makes no sense to impose that /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d is installed
as 700 and owned by the polkitd user. Remove this logic from meson.
The local (admin) configuration tree is /etc, and that is left as-is.
Having non-root directories in /usr creates huge problems for image builders,
as you must ensure that the uid available at build time is exactly the same
as the uid available at runtime. Dropping this requirement will allow to remove
a lot of kludges.
socket.c in GNU Screen through 4.9.0, when installed setuid or setgid (the default on platforms
such as Arch Linux and FreeBSD), allows local users to send a privileged SIGHUP signal to any PID,
causing a denial of service or disruption of the target process.
