The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2013:1505 advisory.

    The java-1.6.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 6 Java Runtime     Environment and the OpenJDK 6 Java Software Development Kit.

    Multiple input checking flaws were found in the 2D component native image     parsing code. A specially crafted image file could trigger a Java Virtual     Machine memory corruption and, possibly, lead to arbitrary code execution     with the privileges of the user running the Java Virtual Machine.
    (CVE-2013-5782)

    The class loader did not properly check the package access for non-public     proxy classes. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute     arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the Java Virtual     Machine. (CVE-2013-5830)

    Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the 2D, CORBA,     JNDI, and Libraries components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or     applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
    (CVE-2013-5829, CVE-2013-5814, CVE-2013-5817, CVE-2013-5842, CVE-2013-5850)

    Multiple input checking flaws were discovered in the JPEG image reading and     writing code in the 2D component. An untrusted Java application or applet     could use these flaws to corrupt the Java Virtual Machine memory and bypass     Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2013-5809)

    The FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING setting was not properly honored by the     javax.xml.transform package transformers. A remote attacker could use this     flaw to supply a crafted XML that would be processed without the intended     security restrictions. (CVE-2013-5802)

    Multiple errors were discovered in the way the JAXP and Security components     processes XML inputs. A remote attacker could create a crafted XML that     would cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of CPU and memory     when processed. (CVE-2013-5825, CVE-2013-4002, CVE-2013-5823)

    Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the Libraries,     Swing, JAX-WS, JGSS, AWT, Beans, and Scripting components in OpenJDK. An     untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass     certain Java sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2013-3829, CVE-2013-5840,     CVE-2013-5774, CVE-2013-5783, CVE-2013-5820, CVE-2013-5849, CVE-2013-5790,     CVE-2013-5784)

    It was discovered that the 2D component image library did not properly     check bounds when performing image conversions. An untrusted Java     application or applet could use this flaw to disclose portions of the Java     Virtual Machine memory. (CVE-2013-5778)

    Multiple input sanitization flaws were discovered in javadoc. When javadoc     documentation was generated from an untrusted Java source code and hosted     on a domain not controlled by the code author, these issues could make it     easier to perform cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2013-5804,     CVE-2013-5797)

    Various OpenJDK classes that represent cryptographic keys could leak     private key information by including sensitive data in strings returned by     toString() methods. These flaws could possibly lead to an unexpected     exposure of sensitive key data. (CVE-2013-5780)

    The Java Heap Analysis Tool (jhat) failed to properly escape all data added     into the HTML pages it generated. Crafted content in the memory of a Java     program analyzed using jhat could possibly be used to conduct cross-site     scripting attacks. (CVE-2013-5772)

    The Kerberos implementation in OpenJDK did not properly parse KDC     responses. A malformed packet could cause a Java application using JGSS to     exit. (CVE-2013-5803)

    All users of java-1.6.0-openjdk are advised to upgrade to these updated     packages, which resolve these issues. All running instances of OpenJDK Java     must be restarted for the update to take effect.

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.
