From ${URL} : tcprewrite program, part of the tcpreplay suite, does not check the size of the frames it processes. Huge frames may trigger a segmentation fault, as 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.

FYI: Upstream now has merged the patch Debian is carrying and marked the bug ready for v4.1.2 which is scheduled for 2016-11-30.
