Fedora 40: 2024-ecd4cc8435 Critical: Tcpreplay Buffer Overflow

Tcpreplay is a tool to replay captured network traffic. Currently, tcpreplay

supports pcap (tcpdump) and snoop capture formats. Also included, is tcpprep

a tool to pre-process capture files to allow increased performance under

certain conditions as well as capinfo which provides basic information about

capture files.

Announcing v4.5.1 This release contains contributions from a record number of new contributors. This is greatly appreciated since I am a team of one, and do Tcpreplay maintenance in my spare time. There are many bug fixes and new features. Most notable features: AF_XDP socket support - if you have a newer Linux kernel, you will be able to transmit at line rates without having to install 3rd party kernel modules (e.g. netmap, PF_RING) -w tcpreplay option - this overrides the -i option, and allows you to write to a PCAP file rather than an interface --include and --exclude tcpreplay options - allows replay of a list of specific packet numbers to replay. This may slow things down, so consider using in combination with -w. --fixhdrlen tcpreplay option - added to control action on packet length changes -W tcpreplay option - suppress warnings when replaying SLL2( Linux "cooked" capture encapsulation v2) Haiku support What's Changed Add support for LINUX_SLL2 by @btriller...
