The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2018:0374 advisory.

    Ansible is a simple model-driven configuration management, multi-node deployment, and remote-task     execution system. Ansible works over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed on     remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and are transferred to managed machines     automatically.

    Ansible Tower helps you scale IT automation, manage complex deployments and speed productivity. Centralize     and control your IT infrastructure with a visual dashboard, role-based access control, job scheduling,     integrated notifications and graphical inventory management. And Ansible Tower's REST API and CLI make it     easy to embed Ansible Tower into existing tools and processes.

    Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine delivers the insight, control, and automation needed to address the     challenges of managing virtual environments. CloudForms Management Engine is built on Ruby on Rails, a     model-view-controller (MVC) framework for web application development. Action Pack implements the     controller and the view components.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A flaw was found in the CloudForms account configuration when using VMware. By default, a shared account     is used that has privileged access to VMRC (VMWare Remote Console) functions that may not be appropriate     for users of CloudForms (and thus this account). An attacker could use this vulnerability to view and make     changes to settings in the VMRC and virtual machines controlled by it that they should not have access to.
    (CVE-2017-12191)

    This issue was discovered by Gellert Kis (Red Hat).

    Additional Changes:

    This update also fixes several bugs and adds various enhancements. Documentation for these changes is     available from the Release Notes document linked to in the References section.

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

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