An issue has been found in tcpflow, a TCP flow recorder.

Due to an overflow vulnerability in function handle_80211, an out-of-bounds read with access to sensitive memory or a denial of service might happen.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.4+repack1-3+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tcpflow packages.

For the detailed security status of tcpflow please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/tcpflow

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
