The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:0109 advisory.

    The rhev-hypervisor6 package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization     Hypervisor ISO disk image. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor     is a dedicated Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor. It includes     everything necessary to run and manage virtual machines: A subset of the     Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating environment and the Red Hat Enterprise     Virtualization Agent.

    Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for     the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions.

    A heap overflow flaw was found in the way QEMU-KVM emulated the e1000     network interface card. A privileged guest user in a virtual machine whose     network interface is configured to use the e1000 emulated driver could use     this flaw to crash the host or, possibly, escalate their privileges on the     host. (CVE-2012-0029)

    An information leak flaw was found in the SSL 3.0 protocol implementation     in OpenSSL. Incorrect initialization of SSL record padding bytes could     cause an SSL client or server to send a limited amount of possibly     sensitive data to its SSL peer via the encrypted connection.
    (CVE-2011-4576)

    A denial of service flaw was found in the RFC 3779 implementation in     OpenSSL. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make an application using     OpenSSL exit unexpectedly by providing a specially-crafted X.509     certificate that has malformed RFC 3779 extension data. (CVE-2011-4577)

    It was discovered that OpenSSL did not limit the number of TLS/SSL     handshake restarts required to support Server Gated Cryptography. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to make a TLS/SSL server using OpenSSL consume     an excessive amount of CPU by continuously restarting the handshake.
    (CVE-2011-4619)

    Red Hat would like to thank Nicolae Mogoreanu for reporting CVE-2012-0029.

    This updated package provides updated components that include fixes for     various security issues. These issues have no security impact on Red Hat     Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor itself, however. The security fixes     included in this update address the following CVE numbers:

    CVE-2009-5029 and CVE-2011-4609 (glibc issues)

    CVE-2012-0056 (kernel issue)

    CVE-2011-4108 and CVE-2012-0050 (openssl issues)

    This update also fixes the following bugs:

    * Previously, it was possible to begin a Hypervisor installation without     any valid disks to install to.

    Now, if no valid disks are found for Hypervisor installation, a message is     displayed informing the user that there are no valid disks for     installation. (BZ#781471)

    * Previously, the user interface for the Hypervisor did not indicate     whether the system was registered with Red Hat Network (RHN) Classic or RHN     Satellite. As a result, customers could not easily determine the     registration status of their Hypervisor installations.

    The TUI has been updated to display the registration status of the     Hypervisor. (BZ#788223)

    * Previously, autoinstall would fail if the firstboot or reinstall options     were passed but local_boot or upgrade were not passed. Now, neither the     local_boot or upgrade parameters are required for autoinstall. (BZ#788225)

    Users of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor are advised to     upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these issues.

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.
