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

  - The dissect_diagnosticrequest function in     epan/dissectors/packet-reload.c in the REsource LOcation     And Discovery (aka RELOAD) dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x     before 1.8.6 uses an incorrect integer data type, which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) via crafted integer values in a packet.
    (CVE-2013-2486)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-reload.c in the REsource LOcation     And Discovery (aka RELOAD) dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x     before 1.8.6 uses incorrect integer data types, which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) via crafted integer values in a packet,     related to the (1) dissect_icecandidates, (2)     dissect_kinddata, (3) dissect_nodeid_list, (4)     dissect_storeans, (5) dissect_storereq, (6)     dissect_storeddataspecifier, (7) dissect_fetchreq, (8)     dissect_findans, (9) dissect_diagnosticinfo, (10)     dissect_diagnosticresponse, (11)     dissect_reload_messagecontents, and (12)     dissect_reload_message functions, a different     vulnerability than CVE-2013-2486. (CVE-2013-2487)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-gtpv2.c in the GTPv2 dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 calls incorrect functions     in certain contexts related to ciphers, which allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a malformed packet.
    (CVE-2013-3555)

  - The fragment_add_seq_common function in     epan/reassemble.c in the ASN.1 BER dissector in     Wireshark before r48943 has an incorrect pointer     dereference during a comparison, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (application     crash) via a malformed packet. (CVE-2013-3556)

  - The dissect_ber_choice function in     epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c in the ASN.1 BER dissector     in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.15 and 1.8.x before 1.8.7     does not properly initialize a certain variable, which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a malformed packet.
    (CVE-2013-3557)

  - The dissect_ccp_bsdcomp_opt function in     epan/dissectors/packet-ppp.c in the PPP CCP dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 does not terminate a     bit-field list, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash) via a malformed     packet. (CVE-2013-3558)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c in the DCP ETSI     dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 uses incorrect     integer data types, which allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (integer overflow, and heap     memory corruption or NULL pointer dereference, and     application crash) via a malformed packet.
    (CVE-2013-3559)

  - The dissect_dsmcc_un_download function in     epan/dissectors/packet-mpeg-dsmcc.c in the MPEG DSM-CC     dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 uses an     incorrect format string, which allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a     malformed packet. (CVE-2013-3560)

  - Multiple integer overflows in Wireshark 1.8.x before     1.8.7 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (loop or application crash) via a malformed     packet, related to a crash of the Websocket dissector,     an infinite loop in the MySQL dissector, and a large     loop in the ETCH dissector. (CVE-2013-3561)

  - Multiple integer signedness errors in the tvb_unmasked     function in epan/ dissectors/packet-websocket.c in the     Websocket dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7     allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a malformed packet.
    (CVE-2013-3562)

  - The dissect_pft function in     epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c in the DCP ETSI     dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.16, 1.8.x before     1.8.8, and 1.10.0 does not validate a certain fragment     length value, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash) via a crafted     packet. (CVE-2013-4083)

This wireshark version update to 1.6.16 includes several security and general bug fixes.

http://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-1.6.16.html

  - The CAPWAP dissector could crash. Discovered by Laurent     Butti. (CVE-2013-4074)

  - The HTTP dissector could overrun the stack. Discovered     by David Keeler. (CVE-2013-4081)

  - The DCP ETSI dissector could crash. (CVE-2013-4083)

http://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-1.6.15.html

  - The ASN.1 BER dissector could crash. ( CVE-2013-3556     CVE-2013-3557 )

The releases also fix various non-security issues.

Additionally, a crash in processing SCTP filters has been fixed.
(bug#816887)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The installed version of Wireshark 1.8 is earlier than 1.8.7.  It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Errors exist in the ETCH, MySQL, and RELOAD dissectors     that could lead to an infinite loop, resulting in a     denial of service. (Bugs 8546, 8458, 8464)

  - Errors exist in the ASN.1 BER, DCP ETSI, GTPv2, MPEG     DSM-CC, PPP CCP, and Websocket dissectors that could     allow them to crash. (Bugs  8231, 8448, 8499, 8481,     8493, 8540, 8541, 8599, 8638)
