The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:2021 advisory.

    JasPer is an implementation of Part 1 of the JPEG 2000 image compression     standard.

    Multiple off-by-one flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were     found in the way JasPer decoded JPEG 2000 image files. A specially crafted     file could cause an application using JasPer to crash or, possibly, execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-9029)

    A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way JasPer decoded JPEG     2000 image files. A specially crafted file could cause an application using     JasPer to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-8138)

    A double free flaw was found in the way JasPer parsed ICC color profiles in     JPEG 2000 image files. A specially crafted file could cause an application     using JasPer to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-8137)

    Red Hat would like to thank oCERT for reporting these issues. oCERT     acknowledges Jose Duart of the Google Security Team as the original     reporter.

    All JasPer users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which     contain backported patches to correct these issues. All applications using     the JasPer libraries 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.
