Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for tcpreplay.

CVE-2018-17582[0]:
| Tcpreplay v4.3.0 beta1 contains a heap-based buffer over-read. The
| get_next_packet() function in the send_packets.c file uses the memcpy()
| function unsafely to copy sequences from the source buffer pktdata to
| the destination (*prev_packet)->pktdata. This will result in a Denial
| of Service (DoS) and potentially Information Exposure when the
| application attempts to process a file.

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