NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tcpreplay package and not the tcpreplay package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

A heap-based buffer over-read exists in the function fast_edit_packet() in the file send_packets.c of Tcpreplay v4.3.0 beta1. This can lead to Denial of Service (DoS) and potentially Information Exposure when the application attempts to process a crafted pcap file.
