Fedora 39 : tcpreplay (2024-740d26aaf7)

high Nessus Plugin ID 202744

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-740d26aaf7 advisory.

 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
