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
