The PPP dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.14, 1.6.x before 1.6.9, and 1.8.x before 1.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted packet, as demonstrated by a usbmon dump.

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

  - Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) via vectors related to the (1) ANSI MAP,     (2) ASF, (3) IEEE 802.11, (4) IEEE 802.3, and (5) LTP     dissectors. (CVE-2012-2392)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-diameter.c in the DIAMETER     dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x     before 1.6.8 does not properly construct certain array     data structures, which allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted     packet that triggers incorrect memory allocation.
    (CVE-2012-2393)

  - Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8 on     the SPARC and Itanium platforms does not properly     perform data alignment for a certain structure member,     which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) via a (1) ICMP or (2) ICMPv6     Echo Request packet. (CVE-2012-2394)

  - The PPP dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.14,     1.6.x before 1.6.9, and 1.8.x before 1.8.1 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer     dereference and application crash) via a crafted packet,     as demonstrated by a usbmon dump. (CVE-2012-4048)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-nfs.c in the NFS dissector in     Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.14, 1.6.x before 1.6.9, and     1.8.x before 1.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (loop and CPU consumption) via a     crafted packet. (CVE-2012-4049)

- This version update fixes the following security issues     (bnc#772738) :

  - The PPP dissector could crash (wnpa-sec-2012-11     CVE-2012-4048)

  - The NFS dissector could use excessive amounts of CPU     (wnpa-sec-2012-12 CVE-2012-4049)
