The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1242 advisory.

    Oracle Java SE version 7 includes the Oracle Java Runtime Environment and     the Oracle Java Software Development Kit.

    This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the Oracle Java Runtime     Environment and the Oracle Java Software Development Kit. Further     information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Java SE Critical     Patch Update Advisory page, listed in the References section.
    (CVE-2015-2590, CVE-2015-2596, CVE-2015-2601, CVE-2015-2613, CVE-2015-2619,     CVE-2015-2621, CVE-2015-2625, CVE-2015-2627, CVE-2015-2628, CVE-2015-2632,     CVE-2015-2637, CVE-2015-2638, CVE-2015-2664, CVE-2015-2808, CVE-2015-4000,     CVE-2015-4729, CVE-2015-4731, CVE-2015-4732, CVE-2015-4733, CVE-2015-4736,     CVE-2015-4748, CVE-2015-4749, CVE-2015-4760)

    Note: With this update, Oracle JDK now disables RC4 TLS/SSL cipher suites     by default to address the CVE-2015-2808 issue. Refer to Red Hat Bugzilla     bug 1207101, linked to in the References section, for additional details     about this change.

    Note: This update forces the TLS/SSL client implementation in Oracle JDK to     reject DH key sizes below 768 bits to address the CVE-2015-4000 issue.
    Refer to Red Hat Bugzilla bug 1223211, linked to in the References section,     for additional details about this change.

    All users of java-1.7.0-oracle are advised to upgrade to these updated     packages, which provide Oracle Java 7 Update 85 and resolve these issues.
    All running instances of Oracle Java must be restarted for the update to     take effect.

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.

The version of Oracle (formerly Sun) Java SE or Java for Business installed on the remote host is prior to 8 Update 51, 7 Update 85, or 6 Update 101. It is, therefore, affected by security vulnerabilities in the following components :

 - 2D
 - CORBA
 - Deployment
 - Hotspot
 - Install
 - JCE
 - JMX
 - JNDI
 - JSSE
 - Libraries
 - RMI
 - Security

The Oracle Java SE installed on the remote host is version 6 prior to Update 101, 7 prior to Update 85, or 8 prior to Update 51 and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities: 

 - A flaw in the 'ObjectInputStream::readSerialData()' function in 'share/classes/java/io/ObjectInputStream.java' that is triggered when handling OIS data allowing a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2590) 
 - An unspecified flaw related to the Hotspot component may allow a context-dependent attacker to have an impact on integrity. (CVE-2015-2596) 
 - A flaw in the JCE component as various cryptographic operations use non-constant time comparisons allowing a remote attacker to conduct timing attacks in order to possibly glean sensitive information. (CVE-2015-2601)  
 - A flaw in the 'ECDH_Derive()' function in 'share/native/sun/security/ec/impl/ec.c' related to missing EC parameter validation when performing ECDH key derivation allowing a remote attacker to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2015-2613) 
 - An unspecified flaw related to the 2D component may allow a context-dependent attacker to gain access to sensitive information. (CVE-2015-2619) 
 - A flaw in the 'RMIConnectionImpl' constructor in 'share/classes/javax/management/remote/rmi/RMIConnectionImpl.java'. The issue is triggered due to improper permission checks when creating repository class loaders allowing a context-dependent attacker to bypass sandbox restrictions and disclose sensitive information.  (CVE-2015-2621) 
 - A flaw in the JSSE component that is triggered when performing X.509 certificate identity checks allowing a remote attacker to have a certificate for another domain being accepted as valid. (CVE-2015-2625) 
 - An unspecified flaw related to the Install component allowing a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information. (CVE-2015-2627) 
 - A typecasting flaw in 'share/classes/com/sun/corba/se/impl/io/IIOPInputStream.java' that is triggered when handling IIOP operations allowing a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2628) 
 - International Components for Unicode for C/C++ (ICU4C) contains an integer overflow condition in the 'LETableReference::verifyLength()' function in 'layout/LETableReference.h'. With a specially crafted font, a context-dependent attacker can crash an application linked against the library or potentially disclose memory contents. (CVE-2015-2632) 
 - An unspecified flaw related to the 2D component allowing a context-dependent attacker to gain access to sensitive information. (CVE-2015-2637) 
 - An unspecified flaw related to the 2D component allowing a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2638) 
 - A NULL pointer dereference flaw in 'share/classes/com/sun/crypto/provider/GCTR.java' related to the GCM (Galois Counter Mode) implementation. The issue is triggered when performing encryption using a block cipher in GCM mode and may allow a remote attacker to cause a crash. (CVE-2015-2659) 
 - An unspecified flaw in the Deployment component allowing a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2015-2664) 
 - An unspecified flaw related to the Deployment component may allow a remote attacker to have an impact on confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2015-4729) 
 - A flaw in 'share/classes/javax/management/MBeanServerInvocationHandler.java' is triggered when handling MBean connection proxy classes allowing a context-dependent attacker to bypass sandbox restrictions and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4731) 
 - A flaw in 'share/classes/java/io/ObjectInputStream.java' and 'share/classes/java/io/SerialCallbackContext.java' related to insufficient context checks allowing a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4732) 
 - A flaw in the 'RemoteObjectInvocationHandler::invoke()' function in 'share/classes/java/rmi/server/RemoteObjectInvocationHandler.java'. The issue is triggered as calls to the finalize() method are permitted allowing a context-dependent attacker to bypass sandbox protections and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4733) 
 - An unspecified flaw related to the Deployment component may allow a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4736) 
  -  A flaw that is triggered when handling Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses with no 'nextUpdate' date specified allowing a remote attacker to cause an application to accept a revoked X.509 certificate. (CVE-2015-4748) 
 - A flaw in the 'DnsClient::query()' function in 'share/classes/com/sun/jndi/dns/DnsClient.java'. The issue is triggered as JNDI DnsClient's exception handling fails to release request information allowing a remote attacker to exhaust memory resources and cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-4749) 
 -International Components for Unicode for C/C++ (ICU4C) contains overflow conditions in the layout engine. With a specially crafted font, a context-dependent attacker can cause a buffer overflow, crashing an application linked against the library or potentially allowing execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4760)
