Hi, Christian.

They are probably talking about one of these[1][2]. I don't have access to a solaris machine right now, so I don't know which is the latest version they ship, but they probably backported patches. 

Here we can't do much more about it, given that the packagers for your solaris version are the ones (possibly) packaging 2.3.1. I'd email or open a ticket with Oracle after making sure they 1) haven't backported patches to fix these, or 2) don't have a newer version in their repositories.

Cheers!
-Santiago.
