The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:0245 advisory.

    Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss     Application Server 7.

    This release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.13 serves as a replacement for Red Hat     JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.12, and includes bug fixes and enhancements, which are     documented in the Release Notes document linked to in the References.

    Security Fix(es):

    * It was discovered that the jboss init script performed unsafe file handling which could result in local     privilege escalation. (CVE-2016-8656)

    * It was discovered that the code that parsed the HTTP request line permitted invalid characters. This     could be exploited, in conjunction with a proxy that also permitted the invalid characters but with a     different interpretation, to inject data into the HTTP response. By manipulating the HTTP response the     attacker could poison a web-cache, perform an XSS attack and/or obtain sensitive information from requests     other then their own. (CVE-2016-6816)

    * An EAP feature to download server log files allows logs to be available via GET requests making them     vulnerable to cross-origin attacks. An attacker could trigger the user's browser to request the log files     consuming enough resources that normal server functioning could be impaired. (CVE-2016-8627)

    * It was discovered that when configuring RBAC and marking information as sensitive, users with a Monitor     role are able to view the sensitive information. (CVE-2016-7061)

    The CVE-2016-8627 issue was discovered by Darran Lofthouse (Red Hat) and Brian Stansberry (Red Hat).

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.
