The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2013:1205 advisory.

    Red Hat Storage is a software only, scale-out storage solution that     provides flexible and agile unstructured data storage for the enterprise.

    Multiple insecure temporary file creation flaws were found in Red Hat     Storage server. A local user on the Red Hat Storage server could use these     flaws to cause arbitrary files to be overwritten as the root user via a     symbolic link attack. (CVE-2013-4157)

    These issues were discovered by Gowrishankar Rajaiyan of Red Hat and Kurt     Seifried of the Red Hat Security Response Team.

    This update also fixes the following bugs:

    * Previously, rolling upgrades on a volume caused some processes to abort     which led to a possible corruption of the volume. Yum update aborts with a     message to stop the volume during an update. Now, with this update rolling     upgrades is not supported and it is mandatory to stop the volume before any     'yum update'. (BZ#998649)

    *  Installing or upgrading the gluster-swift-plugin RPM overwrites     /etc/swift configuration files. Hence, the customer configuration is     overwritten, causing data unavailability. Now, the RPM installs or upgrades     new configuration files with a non-conflicting extension and customer     configuration files are not overwritten, maintaining data availability.
    (BZ#997940, BZ#1000423)

    This update also adds the following enhancement:

    * A new upgrade script has been added. When Red Hat Storage Server 2.1 is     released, this script will help users upgrade and resubscribe their     Red Hat Storage Server 2.0 Update 6 systems to Red Hat Storage Server 2.1.
    (BZ#1002872)

    All users of Red Hat Storage are advised to upgrade to these updated     packages.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
