The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1591 advisory.

    Red Hat Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based     infrastructures. It allows for provisioning, remote management and     monitoring of multiple Linux deployments with a single, centralized tool.
    It performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined     standard operating environments.

    This update provides Satellite 6.1 packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
    For the full list of new features provided by Satellite 6.1 see the Release     notes linked to in references section. (BZ#1201357)

    It was discovered that in Foreman the edit_users permissions (for example,     granted to the Manager role) allowed the user to edit admin user passwords.
    An attacker with the edit_users permissions could use this flaw to access     an admin user account, leading to an escalation of privileges.
    (CVE-2015-3235)

    It was found that Foreman did not set the HttpOnly flag on session cookies.
    This could allow a malicious script to access the session cookie.
    (CVE-2015-3155)

    It was found that when making an SSL connection to an LDAP authentication     source in Foreman, the remote server certificate was accepted without any     verification against known certificate authorities, potentially making     TLS connections vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. (CVE-2015-1816)

    A flaw was found in the way foreman authorized user actions on resources     via the API when an organization was not explicitly set. A remote attacker     could use this flaw to obtain additional information about resources they     were not authorized to access. (CVE-2015-1844)

    A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in Foreman's template preview     screen. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform cross-site     scripting attacks by tricking a user into viewing a malicious template.
    Note that templates are commonly shared among users. (CVE-2014-3653)

    It was found that python-oauth2 did not properly verify the nonce of a     signed URL. An attacker able to capture network traffic of a website using     OAuth2 authentication could use this flaw to conduct replay attacks     against that website. (CVE-2013-4346)

    It was found that python-oauth2 did not properly generate random values     for use in nonces. An attacker able to capture network traffic of a website     using OAuth2 authentication could use this flaw to conduct replay attacks     against that website. (CVE-2013-4347)

    Red Hat would like to thank Rufus Jrnefelt of Coresec for reporting the     foreman HttpOnly issue.

    All users who require Satellite 6.1 are advised to install these new packages.

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.
