Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for tcpreplay.

CVE-2018-17974[0]:
| An issue was discovered in Tcpreplay 4.3.0 beta1. A heap-based buffer
| over-read was triggered in the function dlt_en10mb_encode() of the file
| plugins/dlt_en10mb/en10mb.c, due to inappropriate values in the
| function memmove(). The length (pktlen + ctx -> l2len) can be larger
| than source value (packet + ctx->l2len) because the function fails to
| ensure the length of a packet is valid. This leads to Denial of
| Service.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
