Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2021-41043: Fix a use-after-free in extract_slice().
This issue was discovered by Mohammad Hosein Askari (@C0NSTANTINE110),
see GitHub issue #11.
In extract_slice() pcap_dump_open() takes a pcap_t argument to tell
which DLT to use for the output file. This used to be the pcap_t of the
first input file, as main() requires at least one input file. However,
the loop before pcap_dump_open() closes all, including the first, input
files that don't meet a test condition. This way, when the first file
didn't meet the condition, the call to pcap_dump_open() would end up as
a use-after-free. Make the pcap_dump_open() call before the loop, when
the first array element is always valid, and fix this problem.
