+Tuesday, December 30, 2025 / The Tcpdump Group
+ Summary for 4.99.6 tcpdump release
+ Remove protocol decoding for:
+ OTV (draft-hasmit-otv-04, this Internet-Draft is no longer active).
+ Refine protocol decoding for:
+ DNS: Use ND_TCHECK_LEN() instead of a custom bounds check.
+ IPv6: Add a missing comma and remove a colon in the output.
+ TCP: Note if the Urgent Pointer is non-zero while URG flag not set,
+ if the verbose level is > 1 (option -vv and more).
+ TCP: Note if the Acknowledgment Number is non-zero while ACK flag not set,
+ if the verbose level is > 1 (option -vv and more).
+ TCP: Fix Reset segment processing.
+ IP, IPv6: Fix setting the snapshot length for the payload.
+ IP: Use ND_TTEST_LEN() instead of a custom bounds check.
+ frag6: Add a bounds check in non-verbose mode.
+ PTP: Remove spaces before colons in output.
+ PTP: Fix management packet fields.
+ ISO: Avoid undefined behavior and integer overflow in the Fletcher
+ checksum calculation.
+ NFS: Delete dead code.
+ BOOTP: Use an uint16_t variable to get the result of a GET_BE_U_2().
+ ZEP: use the existing NTP time formatting code.
+ NTP: Fix p_ntp_time_fmt() using epoch 1/epoch 2 convention (RFC 4330).
+ NTP: Update a field name with the RFC 5905 name (Origin Timestamp).
+ IPv6 mobility: Modernize packet parsing and make fixes.
+ IP6OPTS: Modernize packet parsing and make fixes.
+ VXLAN: Add UDP port 8472 used by Linux as the default port.
+ EGP: Replace custom code with tok2str(); Modernize packet parsing and
+ fix printing with -v option.
+ User interface:
+ Add optional unit suffix on -C file size.
+ Improve the handling of size suffixes for -C.
+ Print errors for options -A, -x[x] and -X[X] (mutually exclusive).
+ Print errors about -C, -G and -z options usage.
+ For PCAP_ERROR_CAPTURE_NOTSUP, show the error message provided
+ by libpcap for that error if it's non-empty.
+ Update the -z option processing. Print "invalid option -- z" when it is.
+ Add the -g option, causing IPv4 output in verbose mode to be on one line.
+ Other:
+ Avoid race condition when receiving signal during shutdown.
+ Always show the interface name in error messages when the
+ interface can't be opened.
+ Clean up the message shown if a -i flag is specified with an
+ interface index that's too large.
+ Source code:
+ Fix '-tt' option printing when time > 2106-02-07T06:28:15Z.
+ Add sub-second packet timestamp checks for invalid micro/nano.
+ Remove unused missing/snprintf.c.
+ Fix incompatible pointer types with time functions calls on Windows.
+ Use C99 macros to define 64-bit constants and maximum 64-bit values.
+ Windows:
+ Fixed to find wpcap.dll if WinPcap isn't installed and Npcap was
+ installed without the WinPcap API compatibility option. (GitHub
+ issue #1226).
+ Building and testing:
+ Makefile.in: Use a local libpcap in the releasecheck target.
+ CMake: Fix build with CMake 3.31.
+ autotools, CMake: don't separately test whether snprintf(3) is
+ available and whether it's suitable - the test for whether it's
+ suitable also fails if it's unavailable.
+ CMake: Skip snprintf(3) tests when cross-compiling.
+ autotools, CMake: fix issues with snprintf test and sanitizers.
+ CMake: check whether check_c_source_runs() works, treat the build
+ as a cross-compile if it doesn't work.
+ Autoconf: Use AC_SYS_YEAR2038_RECOMMENDED when possible if the
+ environment variable BUILD_YEAR2038 = yes (via autogen.sh).
+ Autoconf: Avoid incorrectly include the libpcap's config.h.
+ Autoconf: Refine reporting of os-proto.h.
+ Require config.h to be from the tcpdump build.
+ AppVeyor: Update Npcap SDK to 1.15.
+ autogen.sh: Allow to configure Autoconf warnings.
+ autogen.sh: Delete all trailing blank lines at end of configure.
