The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2551 advisory.

    Poppler is a Portable Document Format (PDF) rendering library, used by applications such as Evince.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the poppler library. An attacker could create a malicious PDF     file that would cause applications that use poppler (such as Evince) to crash, or potentially execute     arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2017-9775)

    * An integer overflow leading to heap-based buffer overflow was found in the poppler library. An attacker     could create a malicious PDF file that would cause applications that use poppler (such as Evince) to     crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2017-9776)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
