The dissect_hip_tlv function in epan/dissectors/packet-hip.c in the HIP dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.1 does not properly handle a NULL tree, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.

The 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. (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     1.12.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (infinite loop) via an empty line.
    (CVE-2014-6423)

  - The dissect_v9_v10_pdu_data function in     epan/dissectors/packet-netflow.c in the Netflow     dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x     before 1.12.1 refers to incorrect offset and start     variables, which allows remote attackers to cause a     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     attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read     and application crash) via a CUPS packet that lacks a     trailing '\0' character. (CVE-2014-6425)

  - The dissect_hip_tlv function in     epan/dissectors/packet-hip.c in the HIP dissector in     Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.1 does not properly handle     a NULL tree, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2014-6426)

  - Off-by-one error in the is_rtsp_request_or_reply     function in epan/dissectors/ packet-rtsp.c in the RTSP     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     does not initialize a certain ID value, which allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2014-6428)

  - 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 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 prevent data     overwrites during copy operations, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (application     crash) via a crafted file. (CVE-2014-6432)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201412-52 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service condition via specially       crafted packets.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Multiple flaws were found in Wireshark. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark.
