The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - batik: XML external entity processing vulnerability (CVE-2017-5662)

  - batik: information disclosure when deserializing (CVE-2018-8013)

  - XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in the SVG to (1) PNG and (2) JPG conversion classes in Apache     Batik 1.x before 1.8 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service via a     crafted SVG file. (CVE-2015-0250)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

Nicolas Gregoire and Kevin Schaller discovered that Batik, a toolkit for processing SVG images, would load XML external entities by default. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted SVG file, an attacker could possibly obtain access to arbitrary files or cause resource consumption.

The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0 prior to 7.0.0.39, 8.0 prior to 8.0.0.11, or 8.5 prior to 8.5.5.6. It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability, known as FREAK     (Factoring attack on RSA-EXPORT Keys), exists in the IBM     Global Security Kit (GSKit) due to the support of weak     EXPORT_RSA cipher suites with keys less than or equal to     512 bits. A man-in-the-middle attacker may be able to     downgrade the SSL/TLS connection to use EXPORT_RSA     cipher suites which can be factored in a short amount of     time, allowing the attacker to intercept and decrypt the     traffic. (CVE-2015-0138)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a     flaw in the Bleichenbacher countermeasure implementation     in Apache WSS4J. A remote attacker can exploit this, via     a crafted message, to determine where an encryption     failure to place, allowing the attacker to gain access     to the plaintext symmetric key. (CVE-2015-0226)

  - An XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability exists due to     an incorrectly configured XML parser that accepts XML     external entities from an untrusted source. A remote     attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted XML     data, to gain access to arbitrary files. (CVE-2015-0250)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to a     flaw that occurs in 'full' profile and 'liberty' profile     when using an OAuth grant password. A remote attacker     can exploit this to gain elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2015-1885)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to     incorrect settings in the serveServletsbyClassname     functionality. A remote attacker can exploit this to     gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2015-1927)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that     allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to identify     the proxy server software by reading the HTTP 'Via'     header. (CVE-2015-1932)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the administrative console     that allows a remote attacker, via the 'JSESSIONID'     parameter, to hijack a user's session. (CVE-2015-1936)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to an     unspecified flaw that occurs when handling user roles.
    A local attacker can exploit this to gain elevated     privileges. (CVE-2015-1946)   
  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists, known as     Bar Mitzvah, due to improper combination of state data     with key data by the RC4 cipher algorithm during the     initialization phase. A man-in-the-middle attacker can     exploit this, via a brute-force attack using LSB values,     to decrypt the traffic. (CVE-2015-2808)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to spoof servlets or     disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2015-4938)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - batik: XML external entity processing vulnerability (CVE-2017-5662)

  - batik: information disclosure when deserializing (CVE-2018-8013)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

Updated batik packages fix security vulnerability :

Nicolas Gregoire and Kevin Schaller discovered that Batik would load XML external entities by default. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted SVG file, an attacker could possibly obtain access to arbitrary files or cause resource consumption (CVE-2015-0250).

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2548-1 advisory.

    Nicolas Gregoire and Kevin Schaller discovered that Batik would load XML external entities by default. If     a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted SVG file, an attacker could     possibly obtain access to arbitrary files or cause resource consumption.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted SVG file, an attacker could possibly obtain access to arbitrary files or cause resource consumption.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote host appears to be running IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 prior to 8.5.5.6.  Such versions are potentially affected by multiple issues :
