Hello D'juan,

thanks for the report. Unless is stated that there is a RCE, since it is a read overflow, I'd set the rating to 3.
Thanks

Upstream patch: https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/tcpdump/commit/511915bef7e4de2f31b8d9f581b4a44b0cfbcf53

" If decode_prefix6() returns a negative number, don't print buf.

If it returns a negative number, it hasn't necessarily filled in buf, so
just return immediately; this is similar to the IPv4 code path, wherein
we just return a negative number, and print nothing, on an error.

This should fix GitHub issue #763."
