  Summary for 4.99.0 tcpdump release
    Improve the contents, wording and formatting of the man page.
    Print unsupported link-layer protocol packets in hex.
    Add support for new network protocols and DLTs: Arista, Autosar SOME/IP,
      Broadcom LI and Ethernet switches tag, IEEE 802.15.9, IP-over-InfiniBand
      (IPoIB), Linux SLL2, Linux vsockmon, MACsec, Marvell Distributed Switch
      Architecture, OpenFlow 1.3, Precision Time Protocol (PTP), SSH, WHOIS,
      ZigBee Encapsulation Protocol (ZEP).
    Make protocol-specific updates for: AH, DHCP, DNS, ESP, FRF.16, HNCP,
      ICMP6, IEEE 802.15.4, IPv6, IS-IS, Linux SLL, LLDP, LSP ping, MPTCP, NFS,
      NSH, NTP, OSPF, OSPF6, PGM, PIM, PPTP, RADIUS, RSVP, Rx, SMB, UDLD,
      VXLAN-GPE.
    User interface:
      Make SLL2 the default for Linux "any" pseudo-device.
      Add --micro and --nano shorthands.
      Add --count to print a counter only instead of decoding.
      Add --print, to cause packet printing even with -w.
      Add support for remote capture if libpcap supports it.
      Display the "wireless" flag and connection status.
      Flush the output packet buffer on a SIGUSR2.
      Add the snapshot length to the "reading from file ..." message.
      Fix local time printing (DST offset in timestamps).
      Allow -C arguments > 2^31-1 GB if they can fit into a long.
      Handle very large -f files by rejecting them.
      Report periodic stats only when safe to do so.
      Print the number of packets captured only as often as necessary.
      With no -s, or with -s 0, don't specify the snapshot length with newer
        versions of libpcap.
      Improve version and usage message printing.
    Building and testing:
      Install into bindir, not sbindir.
      autoconf: replace --with-system-libpcap with --disable-local-libpcap.
      Require the compiler to support C99.
      Better detect and use various C compilers and their features.
      Add CMake as the second build system.
      Make out-of-tree builds more reliable.
      Use pkg-config to detect libpcap if available.
      Improve Windows support.
      Add more tests and improve the scripts that run them.
      Test both with "normal" and "x87" floating-point.
      Eliminate dependency on libdnet.
    FreeBSD:
      Print a proper error message about monitor mode VAP.
      Use libcasper if available.
      Fix failure to capture on RDMA device.
      Include the correct capsicum header.
    Source code:
      Start the transition to longjmp() for packet truncation handling.
      Introduce new helper functions, including GET_*(), nd_print_protocol(),
        nd_print_invalid(), nd_print_trunc(), nd_trunc_longjmp() and others.
      Put integer signedness right in many cases.
      Introduce nd_uint*, nd_mac_addr, nd_ipv4 and nd_ipv6 types to fix
        alignment issues, especially on SPARC.
      Fix many C compiler, Coverity, UBSan and cppcheck warnings.
      Fix issues detected with AddressSanitizer.
      Remove many workarounds for older compilers and OSes.
      Add a sanity check on packet header length.
      Add and remove plenty of bounds checks.
      Clean up pcap_findalldevs() call to find the first interface.
      Use a short timeout, rather than immediate mode, for text output.
      Handle DLT_ENC files *not* written on the same OS and byte-order host.
      Add, and use, macros to do locale-independent case mapping.
      Use a table instead of getprotobynumber().
      Get rid of ND_UNALIGNED and ND_TCHECK().
      Make roundup2() generally available.
      Resync SMI list against Wireshark.
      Fix many typos.

release 4.9.3, out on 2019-10-30.

Change the version to 4.9.2.

Change the version to 4.9.1.

Change the version to 4.9.0.

CVE-2016-7985,7986/fixup medsa_print()

The code in medsa_print() assumed that the MEDSA packet always follows
an Ethernet header that is inside the allocated memory buffer. But
this is not always the case, see commit 6bc4429 for rationale.

Eliminate the Ethernet header pointer and just pass on the struct
lladdr_info arguments provided.
