The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2016:0596 advisory.

    Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss     Application Server 7.

    This release serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.6, and includes     bug fixes and enhancements. Documentation for these changes will be available shortly from the Red Hat     JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.7 Release Notes, linked to in the References.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A read-timeout flaw was found in the HTTPS NIO Connector handling of SSL handshakes. A remote,     unauthenticated attacker could create a socket and cause a thread to remain occupied indefinitely so long     as the socket remained open (denial of service). (CVE-2016-2094)

    * It was found that Tomcat would keep connections open after processing requests with a large enough     request body. A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to exhaust the pool of available     connections and preventing further, legitimate connections to the Tomcat server to be made.
    (CVE-2014-0230)

    The CVE-2016-2094 issue was discovered by Aaron Ogburn of Red Hat.

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