The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:3477 advisory.

    Red Hat JBoss Core Services is a set of supplementary software for Red Hat JBoss middleware products. This     software, such as Apache HTTP Server, is common to multiple JBoss middleware products, and is packaged     under Red Hat JBoss Core Services to allow for faster distribution of updates, and for a more consistent     update experience.

    This release of Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.23 Service Pack 3 serves as an update     to Red Hat JBoss Core Services Apache HTTP Server 2.4.23 Service Pack 2, and includes bug fixes, which are     documented in the Release Notes document linked to in the References.

    Security Fix(es):

    * An out-of-bounds array dereference was found in apr_time_exp_get(). An attacker could abuse an     unvalidated usage of this function to cause a denial of service or potentially lead to data leak.
    (CVE-2017-12613)

    * It was discovered that the use of httpd's ap_get_basic_auth_pw() API function outside of the     authentication phase could lead to authentication bypass. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw     to bypass required authentication if the API was used incorrectly by one of the modules used by httpd.
    (CVE-2017-3167)

    * A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the httpd's mod_ssl module. A remote attacker could use     this flaw to cause an httpd child process to crash if another module used by httpd called a certain API     function during the processing of an HTTPS request. (CVE-2017-3169)

    * A buffer over-read flaw was found in the httpd's mod_mime module. A user permitted to modify httpd's     MIME configuration could use this flaw to cause httpd child process to crash. (CVE-2017-7679)

    * A use-after-free flaw was found in the way httpd handled invalid and previously unregistered HTTP     methods specified in the Limit directive used in an .htaccess file. A remote attacker could possibly use     this flaw to disclose portions of the server memory, or cause httpd child process to crash.
    (CVE-2017-9798)

    Red Hat would like to thank Hanno Bck for reporting CVE-2017-9798.
