tcpdump. Multiple issues were addressed by updating to tcpdump version 4.9.3 and libpcap version 1.9.1
Other sources
The command-line argument parser in tcpdump before 4.99.0 has a buffer overflow in tcpdump.c:readinfile(). To trigger this vulnerability the attacker needs to create a 4GB file on the local filesystem and to specify the file name as the value of the -F command-line argument of tcpdump.
