## Description

A vulnerability has been found in tcpreplay 4.5.1. This vulnerability
affects the function mask\_cidr6 of the file cidr.c of the component
tcpprep. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow. The attack
can be initiated remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The
exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the
public and may be used. The researcher is able to reproduce this with the
latest official release 4.5.1 and the current master branch. The code
maintainer cannot reproduce this for 4.5.2-beta1. In his reply the
maintainer explains that "[i]n that case, this is a duplicate that was
fixed in 4.5.2."
