The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201702-26 (Nagios: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Nagios. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A local attacker, who either is already Nagios&rsquo;s system user or       belongs to Nagios&rsquo;s group, could potentially escalate privileges.
    In addition, a remote attacker could read or write to arbitrary files by       spoofing a crafted response from the Nagios RSS feed server.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

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.

  - nagios: Configured administrative account with fixed password and no IP restriction as default     (CVE-2016-0726)

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Nagios. (CVE-2016-6209)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability was found in nagios 4.2.x that occurs in daemon-init.in when creating     necessary files and insecurely changing the ownership afterwards. It's possible for the local attacker to     create symbolic links before the files are to be created and possibly escalating the privileges with the     ownership change. (CVE-2016-8641)

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