    descriptionThe remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates : - Use-after-free vulnerability in the SDP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet that leverages split memory ownership between the SDP and RTP dissectors. (CVE-2014-6421) - The SDP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 creates duplicate hashtables for a media channel, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet to the RTP dissector.

        to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a
        crafted packet that leverages split memory ownership
        between the SDP and RTP dissectors. (CVE-2014-6421)
    
      - The SDP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10
        creates duplicate hashtables for a media channel, which
        allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
        (application crash) via a crafted packet to the RTP
        dissector. (CVE-2014-6422)
    
      - The tvb_raw_text_add function in
        epan/dissectors/packet-megaco.c in the MEGACO dissector
        in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x before

        dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x
        before 1.12.1 refers to incorrect offset and start

        denial of service (uninitialized memory read and
        application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2014-6424)
    
      - The (1) get_quoted_string and (2) get_unquoted_string
        functions in epan/ dissectors/packet-cups.c in the CUPS
        dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.1 allow remote

        and application crash) via a CUPS packet that lacks a
        trailing '\0' character. (CVE-2014-6425)

        dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x
        before 1.12.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial
        of service (application crash) via a crafted packet that
        triggers parsing of a token located one position beyond
        the current position. (CVE-2014-6427)
    
      - The dissect_spdu function in
        epan/dissectors/packet-ses.c in the SES dissector in
        Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1

      - The SnifferDecompress function in wiretap/ngsniffer.c in
        the DOS Sniffer file parser in Wireshark 1.10.x before
        1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 does not properly
        handle empty input data, which allows remote attackers
        to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a
        crafted file. (CVE-2014-6429)
    
      - The SnifferDecompress function in wiretap/ngsniffer.c in
        the DOS Sniffer file parser in Wireshark 1.10.x before
        1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 does not validate
        bitmask data, which allows remote attackers to cause a
        denial of service (application crash) via a crafted
        file. (CVE-2014-6430)
    
      - Buffer overflow in the SnifferDecompress function in
        wiretap/ngsniffer.c in the DOS Sniffer file parser in
        Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1
        allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
        (application crash) via a crafted file that triggers
        writes of uncompressed bytes beyond the end of the
        output buffer. (CVE-2014-6431)

        the DOS Sniffer file parser in Wireshark 1.10.x before
        1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 does not prevent data
