Updated tcpreplay packages fixes CVE-2016-6160
Updated tcpreplay package fixes security vulnerability:
The tcprewrite program, part of the tcpreplay suite, does not check the size of the frames it processes. Huge frames may trigger a segmentation fault, and they occur on interfaces with an MTU of or close to 65536. For example, the loopback interface lo of the Linux kernel has such a value (CVE-2016-6160).
