Update description:

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

USN-6898-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Read Time:4 Minute, 18 Second

Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not
properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to
cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38096)

Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel
contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A
privileged attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2024-23307)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem
in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs.
A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-24857, CVE-2024-24858, CVE-2024-24859)

Bai Jiaju discovered that the Xceive XC4000 silicon tuner device driver in
the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow
vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24861)

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the Unsorted Block Images (UBI) flash device
volume management subsystem did not properly validate logical eraseblock
sizes in certain situations. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-25739)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
