Libcap Project

Libcap is a narrowly scoped system library that implements POSIX capability management for Linux, sitting low in the software stack where it is embedded across a broad range of privileged userspace tools and daemons. Its vulnerability footprint centers on the libcap library itself and reflects memory-management and timing-sensitive weakness classes including integer overflow, use-after-free conditions, and time-of-check-time-of-use race conditions that recur in systems code responsible for privilege boundary enforcement. Current exploitation activity and exposure counts are shown alongside this summary.
