Description

@Marsman1996

Describe the bug
There is a NULL Pointer Dereference in macinstring() when the user passes empty mac string to tcpprep in Source MAC split mode.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Get the Tcpreplay source code and compile it.
$ ./configure
$ make
  1. Run Command $ ./tcpprep -e "" --pcap=./test.pcap --cachefile=/dev/null
    The file test.pcap is from tcpreplay codebase, which is located in test/test.pcap.

Expected behavior
Program crashes with Segmentation fault.

The GDB report:

$ gdb --args ./bin_normal/bin/tcpprep -e "" --pcap=./code/test/test.pcap --cachefile=/dev/null

(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/ubuntu178/cvelibf/test/tcpreplay/latest/bin_normal/bin/tcpprep -e '' --pcap=./code/test/test.pcap --cachefile=/dev/null

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
