The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:0838 advisory.

    OpenJPEG is an open source library for reading and writing image files in JPEG2000 format.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in OpenJPEG. A     specially crafted JPEG2000 image could cause an application using OpenJPEG to crash or, potentially,     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5139, CVE-2016-5158, CVE-2016-5159, CVE-2016-7163)

    * An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in OpenJPEG, in the j2k_to_image tool. Converting a     specially crafted JPEG2000 file to another format could cause the application to crash or, potentially,     disclose some data from the heap. (CVE-2016-9573)

    * A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in OpenJPEG. A specially crafted JPEG2000 image,     when read by an application using OpenJPEG, could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-9675)

    Red Hat would like to thank Liu Bingchang (IIE) for reporting CVE-2016-9573. The CVE-2016-9675 issue was     discovered by Doran Moppert (Red Hat Product Security).

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.
