Notes

- inetutils <not-affected> (inetutils 2:1.4.2+20040207-4; not vulnerable and its tftpd is not shipped)
- atftp <not-affected> (atftp checks h_length)
- netkit-tftp <not-affected> (netkit-tftp not vulnerable)
- tftp-hpa <not-affected> (bug #295297; not exploitable)
The address length comes from libc, not the network.
