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

  • Buffer overflow in the readline function in util/texindex.c, as used by the (1) texi2dvi and (2) texindex commands, in texinfo 4.8 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Texinfo file. (CVE-2006-4810)
