The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2010:0768 advisory.

    These packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime Environment and the     OpenJDK 6 Software Development Kit.

    defaultReadObject of the Serialization API could be tricked into setting a     volatile field multiple times, which could allow a remote attacker to     execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the applet     or application. (CVE-2010-3569)

    Race condition in the way objects were deserialized could allow an     untrusted applet or application to misuse the privileges of the user     running the applet or application. (CVE-2010-3568)

    Miscalculation in the OpenType font rendering implementation caused     out-of-bounds memory access, which could allow remote attackers to execute     code with the privileges of the user running the java process.
    (CVE-2010-3567)

    JPEGImageWriter.writeImage in the imageio API improperly checked certain     image metadata, which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code in the context of the user running the applet or application.
    (CVE-2010-3565)

    Double free in IndexColorModel could cause an untrusted applet or     application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the     privileges of the user running the applet or application. (CVE-2010-3562)

    The privileged accept method of the ServerSocket class in the Common Object     Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) implementation in OpenJDK allowed it to     receive connections from any host, instead of just the host of the current     connection. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass restrictions defined     by network permissions. (CVE-2010-3561)

    Flaws in the Swing library could allow an untrusted application to modify     the behavior and state of certain JDK classes. (CVE-2010-3557)

    Flaws in the CORBA implementation could allow an attacker to execute     arbitrary code by misusing permissions granted to certain system objects.
    (CVE-2010-3554)

    UIDefault.ProxyLazyValue had unsafe reflection usage, allowing untrusted     callers to create objects via ProxyLazyValue values. (CVE-2010-3553)

    HttpURLConnection improperly handled the chunked transfer encoding     method, which could allow remote attackers to conduct HTTP response     splitting attacks. (CVE-2010-3549)

    HttpURLConnection improperly checked whether the calling code was granted     the allowHttpTrace permission, allowing untrusted code to create HTTP     TRACE requests. (CVE-2010-3574)

    HttpURLConnection did not validate request headers set by applets, which     could allow remote attackers to trigger actions otherwise restricted to     HTTP clients. (CVE-2010-3541, CVE-2010-3573)

    The Kerberos implementation improperly checked the sanity of AP-REQ     requests, which could cause a denial of service condition in the receiving     Java Virtual Machine. (CVE-2010-3564)

    The RHSA-2010:0339 update mitigated a man-in-the-middle attack in the way     the TLS/SSL (Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer) protocols     handle session renegotiation by disabling renegotiation. This update     implements the TLS Renegotiation Indication Extension as defined in RFC     5746, allowing secure renegotiation between updated clients and servers.
    (CVE-2009-3555)

    The NetworkInterface class improperly checked the network connect     permissions for local network addresses, which could allow remote attackers     to read local network addresses. (CVE-2010-3551)

    Information leak flaw in the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI)     could allow a remote attacker to access information about     otherwise-protected internal network names. (CVE-2010-3548)

    Note: Flaws concerning applets in this advisory (CVE-2010-3568,     CVE-2010-3554, CVE-2009-3555, CVE-2010-3562, CVE-2010-3557, CVE-2010-3548,     CVE-2010-3564, CVE-2010-3565, CVE-2010-3569) can only be triggered in     OpenJDK by calling the appletviewer application.

    Bug fixes:

    * This update provides one defense in depth patch. (BZ#639922)

    * Problems for certain SSL connections. In a reported case, this prevented     the JBoss JAAS modules from connecting over SSL to Microsoft Active     Directory servers. (BZ#618290)

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.
