| Blocker | --- |
the tcprewrite program, part of the tcpreplay suite, does not check the size of the frames it processes. Huge frames may trigger a segmentation fault, and they occur on interfaces with an MTU of or close to 65536. For example, the loopback interface lo of the Linux kernel has such a value. This has been assigned CVE-2016-6160. Fix is in the debian bug. network:utilities/tcpreplay 4.1.1 openSUSE:Factory/tcpreplay 4.1.1 References: http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2016-6160 http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q3/10 http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2016/CVE-2016-6160.html https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=829350
