The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2017:3216 advisory.

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

    This release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.18 serves as a replacement for Red Hat     JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.17, and includes bug fixes and enhancements, which are     documented in the Release Notes document linked to in the References.

    Security Fix(es):

    * It was found that while parsing the SAML messages the StaxParserUtil class of Picketlink replaces     special strings for obtaining attribute values with system property. This could allow an attacker to     determine values of system properties at the attacked system by formatting the SAML request ID field to be     the chosen system property which could be obtained in the InResponseTo field in the response.
    (CVE-2017-2582)
