WinPcap Changelog

What's new in WinPcap 4.1.3

Mar 9, 2013
  • Added support for Windows 8 and Server 2012
  • Removed the old CACE logo
  • Bugfixes:
  • Fixed a bug in the Just-In-Time compiler for BPF filters that could cause an OS crash when dealing with specially crafted LD instructions
  • The BPF filter validation code was not properly validating division-by-zero DIV instructions.

New in WinPcap 4.1.2 (Aug 31, 2010)

  • Fixed a bug reported by Boaz Brickner: the driver could cause an OS crash when an IRP_MJ_CLEANUP is processed in parallel with an IRP_MJ_READ/WRITE/DEVICECONTROL. The fix defers the deallocation of the open structure in IRP_MJ_CLOSE.
  • Fixed a bug in the buffered write code. A malformed transmit buffer sent with pcap_sendqueue_transmit could cause a buffer overflow and crash the OS.
  • Disabled tracing in the driver (it was left on by mistake in the previous release of WinPcap).
  • Added the missing export pcap_free_datalinks.
  • Do not show the installation panel with the OS info.
  • Small fix to the documentation regarding WDK.

New in WinPcap 4.1.1 (Oct 21, 2009)

  • This release fixes a bug in the installer of WinPcap 4.1. The binaries were not digitally signed, thus preventing the WinPcap driver from working on Vista/2008/Win7/2008R2 x64.

New in WinPcap 4.0 (Mar 9, 2007)

  • Added support for Vista x64 by digitally signing all the binaries of the WinPcap distribution.
  • Better error handling in the installer - if the installation of the Microsoft Network Monitor Driver (NetMon) fails.
  • Improved the documentation layout and readability - updated the style sheet and migrated to Doxygen 1.5.1.
