I believe Netwitness will allow passive checks and has a demo version
available. WinPcap may also offer some services, but I have not used
it.

Dear Friends,

I have explored the passive vulnerability analysis options but the
issue with those is there is not free or evaluation version available.
I can't afford tenables PVS and sourcefirs' RNA . Does someone know if
there is any evalution copy available of RNA or PVS. I know PVS used
to be NeVO and they released a copy for evaluation a while back but
its no longer available . I would really appreciate a response in this
regard.

Best,
AK

Indeed.   And that's basically the gist of passive vuln scanning.
The Tenable white paper talks further in terms of intelligent banner
analysis for protocols that aren't a simple to glean version info from
as http browsers and servers tend to be.

This is not a tool, but simple example:  You could determine what
browser and version a host is running from the HTTP headers (User
Agent).  You could then easily determine if their browser is out of
date and contains vulnerabilities.  I've never done this, but you
could probably set up filters in Wireshark to pick out specific
packets that contain specific header information (like IE7).

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!
