The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.68. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_7.0.68_security-7 advisory.

  - The Mapper component in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.45, 7.x before 7.0.68, 8.x before 8.0.30, and 9.x     before 9.0.0.M2 processes redirects before considering security constraints and Filters, which allows     remote attackers to determine the existence of a directory via a URL that lacks a trailing / (slash)     character. (CVE-2015-5345)

  - The (1) Manager and (2) Host Manager applications in Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.68, 8.x before 8.0.31,     and 9.x before 9.0.0.M2 establish sessions and send CSRF tokens for arbitrary new requests, which allows     remote attackers to bypass a CSRF protection mechanism by using a token. (CVE-2015-5351)

  - Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.45, 7.x before 7.0.68, 8.x before 8.0.31, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M2 does not     place org.apache.catalina.manager.StatusManagerServlet on the     org/apache/catalina/core/RestrictedServlets.properties list, which allows remote authenticated users to     bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and read arbitrary HTTP requests, and consequently discover     session ID values, via a crafted web application. (CVE-2016-0706)

  - The session-persistence implementation in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.45, 7.x before 7.0.68, 8.x before     8.0.31, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M2 mishandles session attributes, which allows remote authenticated users to     bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a web     application that places a crafted object in a session. (CVE-2016-0714)

  - The setGlobalContext method in org/apache/naming/factory/ResourceLinkFactory.java in Apache Tomcat 7.x     before 7.0.68, 8.x before 8.0.31, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M3 does not consider whether     ResourceLinkFactory.setGlobalContext callers are authorized, which allows remote authenticated users to     bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and read or write to arbitrary application data, or cause a     denial of service (application disruption), via a web application that sets a crafted global context.
    (CVE-2016-0763)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
