The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:3458 advisory.

    The eap7-jboss-ec2-eap packages provide scripts for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform running     on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).

    With this update, the eap7-jboss-ec2-eap package has been updated to ensure compatibility with Red Hat     JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.1.

    Refer to the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.1 Release Notes, linked to in the References section,     for information on the most significant bug fixes and enhancements included in this release.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A Denial of Service can be caused when a long request is sent to EAP 7. (CVE-2016-7046)

    * The jboss init script unsafe file handling resulting in local privilege escalation. (CVE-2016-8656)

    * A deserialization vulnerability via readValue method of ObjectMapper which allows arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2017-7525)

    * JMSObjectMessage deserializes potentially malicious objects allowing Remote Code Execution.
    (CVE-2016-4978)

    * Undertow is vulnerable to the injection of arbitrary HTTP headers, and also response splitting.
    (CVE-2016-4993)

    * The domain controller will not propagate its administrative RBAC configuration to some slaves leading to     escalate their privileges. (CVE-2016-5406)

    * Internal IP address disclosed on redirect when request header Host field is not set. (CVE-2016-6311)

    * Websocket non clean close can cause IO thread to get stuck in a loop. (CVE-2017-2670)

    * Privilege escalation with security manager's reflective permissions when granted to Hibernate Validator.
    (CVE-2017-7536)

    * Potential http request smuggling as Undertow parses the http headers with unusual whitespaces.
    (CVE-2017-7559)

    * Properties based files of the management and the application realm are world readable allowing access to     users and roles information to all the users logged in to the system. (CVE-2017-12167)

    * RBAC configuration allows users with a Monitor role to view the sensitive information. (CVE-2016-7061)
