Hi All,
Is there any tool that can detect vulnerabilities that exist on hosts
by looking at the pcap captures of their traffic.

I don't know specifically, but this is the realm of passive
vulnerability scanning if you want to do some googling on the term.
Tenable has a white paper on theirs
http://www.nessus.org/whitepapers/passive_scanning_tenable.pdf

whether it can a .pcap as input and just be run on that rather than
doing it in realm time is unknown to me.   

I hope this helps you on the way to an answer!
