>Description:

Pflogd is compiled against libpcap:

/sbin/pflogd:
        -lpcap.8 => /lib/libpcap.so.8
        -lc.12 => /lib/libc.so.12
        -lutil.7 => /lib/libutil.so.7

and it abuses internal state from it, noticable if you remove the include of
(the not publically installed header) pcap-int.h from the source:

/work/src/dist/pf/sbin/pflogd/privsep.c: In function 'set_snaplen':
/work/src/dist/pf/sbin/pflogd/privsep.c:200:7: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'pcap_t' {aka 'struct pcap'}
  hpcap->snapshot = snap;
       ^~
Now unfortunately libpcap has an #ifdef ENABLE_REMOTE in that struct, and
it is not defined when compiling pflogd, but is compiled when compiling
our in-tree libpcap.

This means the pcap_t seen by pflogd differs from the pcap_t actually created
and populated by libpcap. And even more unfortunate, the "snapshot" member
is later in the structure than the #ifdef'd part, so pflogd will actually
set hpcap->linktype_ext instead of hpcap->snapshot.

>How-To-Repeat:
Code inspection (actually found by a #else #error added to pcap-int.h and
the #ifdef ENABLE_REMOTE clause)

>Fix:
One of:
 1) avoid using pcap internal state in pflogd (unfortunately there seems to
    be only a query function for snapshot, not a set function)
 2) add -DENABLE_REMOTE to the pflogd compilation
 3) remove the #ifdef from pcap-int.h
 4) remove pflogd
