The Management plugin in RabbitMQ before 3.6.1 allows remote authenticated users with certain privileges to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via the (1) lengths_age or (2) lengths_incr parameter.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The Management plugin in RabbitMQ before 3.6.1 allows remote authenticated users with certain privileges     to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via the (1) lengths_age or (2) lengths_incr parameter.
    (CVE-2015-8786)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2017:0532 advisory.

    RabbitMQ is an implementation of AMQP, the emerging standard for high performance enterprise messaging.
    The RabbitMQ server is a robust and scalable implementation of an AMQP broker.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A resource-consumption flaw was found in RabbitMQ Server, where the lengths_age or lengths_incr     parameters were not validated in the management plugin. Remote, authenticated users with certain     privileges could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service by passing values which were too large.
