The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2636 advisory.

    Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is a platform for Java applications based on the JBoss     Application Server.

    This release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.17 serves as a replacement for Red Hat     JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.16, and includes bug fixes and enhancements, which are     documented in the Release Notes document linked to in the References.

    Security Fix(es):

    * It was found that when using remote logging with log4j socket server the log4j server would deserialize     any log event received via TCP or UDP. An attacker could use this flaw to send a specially crafted log     event that, during deserialization, would execute arbitrary code in the context of the logger application.
    (CVE-2017-5645)

    * A vulnerability was discovered in the error page mechanism in Tomcat's DefaultServlet implementation. A     crafted HTTP request could cause undesired side effects, possibly including the removal or replacement of     the custom error page. (CVE-2017-5664)

    * A deserialization flaw was discovered in the jackson-databind which could allow an unauthenticated user     to perform code execution by sending the maliciously crafted input to the readValue method of the     ObjectMapper. (CVE-2017-7525)

    Red Hat would like to thank Liao Xinxi (NSFOCUS) for reporting CVE-2017-7525.
